    Anyone know where I might get hold of carbon cloth and liquid epoxy in Galway? Could get them on ebay but it might be handier to get them locally. A shop that sells sailing equipment might have them for boat repairs?

    Not a clue about Carbon, but you'll get epoxy resin in either Galway Maritime on Merchants Road, or Purcells Marine out in Clarenbridge - You'll pay a lot more than you will online though

    I need a small quantity of carbon cloth, I'm not sure exactly what weight/grade etc to be honest. I need the materials to make a bandage to repair a windsurf mast. I imagine something like this would do the job: http://cgi.ebay.ie/SAMPLE-CARBON-FIBRE-TWILL-WEAVE-CLOTH_W0QQitemZ330277478537QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330277478537&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

    i'd go with that guy on e-bay for that price. The carbon fiber i get is way more expensive then that and I get it in bulk...
