deny essex Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) not quite carbon fibre but solid composite from B&Q white so needs spraying, perfectly good for your purpose, i have used them on magnets, look for the metal rack, one thing if you need to rub them down do not rub bare hands over them at all, less you want a thousand tiny splinter of glassfibre, been there done that, once !

Dave-G Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Composite (fibreglass) should bounce better than carbon fibre which has rigidity as it's main trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I dont like fiber glass splinters. I use to work in the GRP industry for a fair few years and still itch 15 years after leaving the dirty hell hole.hehe I will go get some and try. Is it the 5mm or 6mm you use? I dont think there is a decathlon around the gloucester area any idea on price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
