What he has is some 12" wide Kevlar that he lists for $3.00 per yard for small quantities, down to $1.50 per yard for very large quantities. What I did was to buy most of what he had left at the $1.50 per yard price. I am offering it for sale at $2.00 per yard.
It turns out that this 12" wide kevlar is really just a few 60" wide rolls that have been cut by machine into 12" wide rolls. This means that most of the edges of the 12" wide fabric do not have the frizzies or bound edges that are typically found on roll edges to keep the fabric from fraying. This is actually a good thing since it allows the narrow fabric to be pieced together in a layup without the extra work of cutting the factory edges off. this style of fabric is tightly woven so fraying is not a big issue anyway.
The 12" wide fabric works especially well for HL wings where it only takes two pieces to do a bias layup for each wing half. Longer wings with bias layups will take three or four pieces. It is not difficult to lay up multiple pieces on a mylar for bagging a wing. Longer wings requiring three or four pieces for a bias layup may be a bit of a nuisance but you may still find that the price difference makes it worthwhile.
The 12" wide fabric is a natural for fuselage work or if you have some need for a 0-90 degree layup on a wing.
