i've got a crapload of it i need to sell, so if you've got a project, let me know!
the fiber is braided together all the way around in a circle, much like a chinese finger puppet. you can cut it lengthwise down the middle and have a flat sheet, the width being the circumference of the circle. so an 8" diameter piece would be roughly 25" wide (2 x pi x radius) and i can cut any length needed until i run out. it'll stretch quite a bit, but what you gain in width is lost in the length and vice versa. its neat stuff if you know what you're doing with it.
6" 45 deg 14.4 oz/sq yard ~18"wide when cut $6.00/ft
6.5" 30 deg ??? oz/sq yard ~20" wide when cut $6.50/ft
8" 45 deg 11.0 oz/sq yard ~25" wide when cut $8.00/ft
12" 45 deg ??? oz/sq yard ~37" wide when cut $12.00/ft
18" 45 deg 13.9 oz/sq yard ~56" wide when cut $18.00/ft

you don't happen to have any idea where to get the other things necessary to wrap parts such as resin and hardeners and what not do ya?

google could probably tell you more than me, i'm really only familiar with the stuff we used and i'm not sure specifically what it is other than being an epoxy resin. whatever you use, make sure it can handle the temperature the part will be under, and some are more pliable than other if you need it to be. for someplace local, you might try a boating store, they use a lot of carbon on sailboats, and i know they'll have a lot of fiberglassing stuff that might work with carbon.

i had bookmarked this page a while back, they seem to have a wide variety of stuff relating to carbon fiber/fiberglass fabrication.

depends on how much of what size. what do you need?
