You ain't kidding about the rubber gloves! I'm on the second box of 50. After I unwrapped the inner tubes I found that the carbon tow actually laid down pretty nice. I sanded down the rough spots and added a couple of more layers of carbon then wrapped the whole thing in inner tubes again. I have been adding two layers of carbom tow each time and then sanding the hardened carbon between each application. I plan on doing a final wrapping with hemp string as a cosmetic layer. I'll post some pictures after I'm convinced that the frame is presentable.
