ok i bought this

Ebay Link

i received today and its like glass. its silver at angles but looking at it striaght up, its see through. did he sell me something else? its feels like plastic.

 

hard to tell.. but worse case is that it's a fiberglass twill and not CF at all..

both look the same.

 

There's also some other woven composite that looks like CF, but isn't.

Chances are, you got a loose-weave piece of carbon fiber.

I bought an adhesive backed black CF sheet off eBay a while back. You can see right through the weave.

Which is irritating, because it's a cosmetic piece. I haven't 'wrapped' anything with it yet, but the weave shouldn't be that loose. I feel your pain.

I expected to get something more like this:



Or my Gerber:


That's the sheet I have in the second pic. I never disputed the transaction, because I figure I'll find something to use it on.

 

cant expect too much from ebay, too many loose ends

 

i'll take pics of it and post it up later. i have other silver cf and it looks nothing like what he sent me
