Default 1.5mm carbon fibre rod

hi all i am wanting to build a cage to go around my propeller (11x7) on an air boat i am thinking of making
i was thinking of using 1.5mm carbon fiber rod as it is lighter than steel
what i would like to know is will i be able to bend it into a 12 inch diameter hoop or will it just shatter at that size
i have found a glue i can use (http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/r...-adhesive.html )
for gluing the ribs etc i just wasn't sure how far i could bend this stuff
