Indestructible Carbon Fiber
im looking for a micro rs4 site that had a walkthrough on how to make carbon fiber almost indestructible and longer lasting. it was a page onvolving sanding the edges and then letting a bead of ca run down the edge. anyone got a link?

The purpose for lightly sanding the edges and putting a thin layer of ca on the cut surfaces is to prevent delamination. I've done this for years.
Here's what you do.
Take a fine grit sandpaper or emery cloth (220 grit is fine).
Lightly sand the sides fo the graphite (or carbon fibre) parts (the cut edge).
Using thin ca, put a small film on the sanded edge.
Allow it to air dry.
