Has anyone experience of using carbon fibre instead of fibreglass for
repairs? It looks like I could darn using the roving.

I often do small repairs on chainsaw bits that have broken and used
fibreglass and epoxy successfully to repair the plastic and aluminium
allow fuel tanks but wonder if using carbon fibre may be any better,
especially as I end up itching all over after playing with the
fibreglass.

Carbon fibre is stronger than glass fibres and makes a much stiffer structure.
Used in aircraft for lightness.
But not worth the added expense for stuff on the ground where weight is not an issue.


It is finer, though, so might be useful on very small repairs. Not that
I have actually tried it.
