While I was in Northern Tool today, I came across an adv. for a 18 x 18 inch carbon fiber blanket. Apparently it is used for protecting welding items from high heat. Might this cheap source of carbon fiber have any use for building planes??

4 of these blankets make 1 sq yard or around 50$ total cost. That's about the cost of a yard of 6K carbon fabric from places such as Fiberglast or ACP. Perhaps a small savings is possible assuming it is 6K material
