"What is a wetlay wanker ?"

People that make poor quality carbon fibre as opposed to the top level prepreg stuff.

I run a company making high end carbon parts and there's a lot of junk in the market.

Obviously it's a fibre and made of carbon ...but that is all I've got

Simple carbon fibre doesn't cover useable stable and safe wheels, that's high end r&d, testing ect ect

That's for the musician to decide, those carbon violins are becoming popular even to the classical players aren't they

Played a steel body guitar had a very harsh tone guess carbon would give more mellow sound.

This might sound odd but I'd love a perfect sphere of solid carbon fibre, maybe 6 inches in diameter, polished to within an inch of it's life.

Again , I know it’s outside the realms of “simple” but a while ago I was fascinated by a YouTube chap called Mike Patey who was building his own custom carbon fibre aircraft “Scrappy”. Watching him just knocking out of these massive custom panels was amazing. Definitely worth a watch if you’re into that kind of thing
