Anyone know where I can get some CHEAP carbon fiber in the US? I would like to wrap my case in it.

Real carbon fiber? Cheap? Ha!

 

 

There is no such thing as cheap carbon fiber yet :)

One yard x50" of actual Plain Weave 12K Carbon fiber only costs $16.99. A quart of Epoxy Resin and its hardener is about $50. That's about $67 for 1800sq in of composite material. That's pretty cheap for carbon fiber, if you ask me.  :D

it cheep but you need equipment to work and an autoclave oven to get the look like carbon fiber you can work it like any fiberglass product but the resin will have a a cloudy look to it because of air in the resin. 

when asking on which you NLE shud use to edit video I will tell you to get avid and an mac. life is easy when it just works.
