Carbon Fiber / Yellow Dyed Fiberglass – 2x2 Twill 3k – 12.53oz (425gsm) – 50in Width

This premium hybrid reinforcement combines 3k carbon fiber with yellow dyed fiberglass in a classic 2×2 twill weave to deliver a striking black-and-yellow aesthetic with balanced mechanical performance. The tight, uniform weave wets out cleanly and drapes well over subtle curves, making it a favorite for visible-weave parts and cosmetic skins that still require structural contribution from carbon.

Why Builders Choose This Hybrid

• Eye-catching look: the carbon/kevlar-style color contrast in an accessible carbon+glass hybrid.
• Great drape and cosmetic finish from the 2×2 twill.
• Balanced performance: carbon contributes stiffness while the glass helps impact friendliness and cost control.
• Reliable, uniform weave from reputable composite weavers.

Common Applications

• Visible-weave bodywork and trim: fairings, hoods, panels, splitters, dash/interior, tank and tail covers
• Consumer goods: laptop/console skins, cases, helmets (non-structural outer skins), longboards
• Marine & paddlesports accents, UAV/drone shells, instrument & audio panels
• Cosmetic skins over structural laminates and refurbished parts

Layup Tips

• Handle with clean gloves; cut with designated composite shears.
• For best clarity, squeegee out excess resin and use low-yellowing epoxy. Post-coat with a UV-stable clear.
• Stagger seams and maintain fiber orientation for consistent visual lines.
• For higher impact or stiffness, back up the cosmetic ply with structural carbon or glass as needed.
