Hey Noah, I was wondering.

who's the guy who made that CF wrapped gas lid etc.
I want to get a piece of plastic done so that I can heat gun/ blowtorch/ oven it to test this CF discoloration theory.

I'm not sure that will work unless you plan on doing it continuously for a few years. CF is a very tough material but i guess it starts to break down after long exposure to heat.

but with high heat, ie. oxy-acetelene, I might be able to simulate as good amount of time.

there is a difference with heat over time and a large amount of heat fast.

Nah...probably because of privacy issues.

But...

Maybe they can send an email for us asking him to log in or something to view his messages.

Well...if it works out for me...which it should.

Everybody will have an opportunity to get one done that wants one.

I'm donating my items in the spirit of being the guinea pig.

Unfortunately...I can't say at the moment...

Still have to calculate the labor, difficulty, materials, before I can present a figure.

I was told to keep quiet.

Ok...so guys I am getting this setup for us so be patient.

My goal was to get this available to people who wanted one and I am seeing that goal through.

Here is just a teaser sample to spark some interest and let you guys know that it's going down.

I can't give any price or specific details so please be patient.
