interesting... it kind of goes along with what I was seeing on the fishing poles. they put them in a heater, and afterwards they are 'bonded'. Not sure that would be possible as a consumer but... all that said I would still be curious of what sort of results you could get. actually, if the carbon strands are 70% as effective as the commercially available rods it'd be worth it. I could see multiple applications (inlay carbon fiber strings on as runners on the back of a neck).
further, parker fly used carbon fiber on the outside of wood no? Did they use heat? My gut would guess no as that might cause issues with the wood, but I honestly done know. if they didn't use heat... what sort of resin where they using?
