Default Cheapest source for carbon tape-strenghtening profile fuse.

was thinking about using carbon tape somehow to strengthen the backhalf of fuse.
i've already put a few carbon rods in there. the fuse is 1.25" pink foam with balsa over it. the front is doubled with 1/"8 ply.
the problem is, when i grab the ends of the stab, there is more twist than i like.
so i was thinking of carbon tape in a truss type layout, and then covering with another layer of balsa, running the other direction.

any suggestions?

I've got 12k carbon tow. It's raw carbon fiber. Little harder to work with, but I could sell you a length for next to nuthin.
Lemme kow if I can help.
