Hi guys:

Any pen turner buy CF sleeves from Soller Composities for pen blanks? If yes, would like to seek advice on which type of CF sleeves to buy?

1. Composite Biaxial Sleeving under the heading Carbon Fibre Sleeve or,
2. Carbon Fibre UNI Sleeving under the heading UNI & Composite Tapes

I can't help with your question Edward, but Soller Composites seem like a reputable company, have you checked your spam box for their reply? I have had this experience on many occasions my friend .. :thinks:

Hi Jim:

I checked my spam box, it does not contain any email from Soller. Perhaps they thought I am too far away from them to service me. :face:
Still my thanks to your suggestion.

Have a nice day

Hi Peter:

Thank you for your suggestion to buy from Easy Composites. I will order the Light Weight Braided Carbon Fibre Sleeve 10mm type. Hopefully this is the
right type and size

Hi Edward, You're welcome, the 10mm sleeve fits 4mm to 13mm so it will fit a good range of tubes. Have fun.

Until today, all the pen I turned used standard pen blanks and kits, I will post the photos of these pens if you don't find it boring.

We never get fed up of photos... in fact we require them :funny:
