Inexpensive source of carbon fiber rods
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2016 8:53 pm
I found this place on the Internet while I was looking for places to get carbon fiber rods for neck reinforcement.
http://dragonplate.com
For example, LMI charges $21.68 for a piece 1/8" x1/2" x 18", a bit over $1.20 per inch. Dragon Plate charges $12.74 for a piece 1/8" x 1/2" x 48", about $0.265 per inch. less than a fourth of LMI's price.
Dragon Plate does have a $30 minimum order, but that is not particularly difficult to manage. Their rods have a smooth surface. Dragon Plate recommends scuffing the surface with coarse sandpaper prior to gluing.
Shipping was reasonably quick and easy.
