I use it at work quite a bit. NOt that bad to work with, just wear a mask what its in the dry form. We like to call it black aspestice (sp?). Its nice because you can use poly resin if you wish(cheap). we use wes systems Epoxy though. Just make a good mold, but Id have to say making a bumper might be expensive using CF.

hmmm I don't want to question you, but I also don't want others to go out and buy polyester resin to work with carbon fiber. so just a word of warning from what I've read polyester resin can not be used with carbon fiber, basically your only choices are epoxy and vinyl ester. also I've experimented a bit with carbon fiber; not as easy as I thought it was gonna be for sure wink.gif
