Anyone ever use a carbon fiber decal on the split grip area of a blank? I ordered a carbon fiber decal in a vinyl type material, not sure if I can epoxy over this product. Planning to use Flexcoat HiBuild. Do you think this will work

While I haven't tried it, I really don't think you'll have any issues. Epoxies really don't react with much so they're pretty safe to use.

If you're worried...cut a small piece and stick it down to a plastic coffee lid. Then put a few drops of finish on it. The finish will level out and cure. You'll see if they don't like each other.

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

It should be fine, this is the same thing we are doing with the Electric decals we print on decal media.

Hey Brian,

Is the product you are speaking of the item listed below? A couple of years ago I used some sign vinyl with epoxy and the coverage and adhesion was great. I just made sure it was cleaned of any contaminants before I applied the epoxy. As Matt said, epoxies are fairly docile substances that don't bother much of anything - except one's nerves . . .!!

Couldn't you use the carbon fiber sleeving like used on the foam core handles in a smaller diameter? Riley rods sells it as small as .75 I think and it can be pulled tight to fit snug. Just an idea.
