First things first; slow your roll... No need to be confrontational with only 2 posts... I'm trying to say that the answers to carbon fiber questions would be in the carbon fiber section, up to, and including "how-to's" on the very project you're attempting.

You're right; I stand corrected. However, the very project you're attempting can be found in the "carbon fiber" section. There are also several projects of this same kind which can be found if you do a search.

There is also a section on what materials to buy to start/complete your specified project. I don't think there is anyone on this board who will recommend that you buy "Dynatron" products, because that is the parent company for Bondo, and "bondo" is a dirty word around these parts. If you're buying the bondo stuff to practice with, that's fine, but it's not good for a production piece that people are gonna see.

Do not buy that off of eBay. Honestly don't even try to work with the bondo brand stuff, it's horrible.

Where are you located? We might be able to help you find some. Look for an auto body supply store around or a boat supply shop. Guarenteed any of those places are not carrying bondo crap.
