Need help with getting carbon fiber sleeves

[yaroslaw]

I am trying to get some carbon sleeves to try casting (as a background for watchpart pens). And I've got a lot of problems with it.

First of all, it is locally unavailable. My Google-fu isn't strong enough.
Second, it's off of Ebay. Nobody sells it there.
And last - I've tried to get from guys recommended here - Soller composites. No luck. "We do not ship without delivery confirmation" - that means 40+$ for international shipment (compare to 10-15$ normal post, 24$ priority mail small flat rate). I was taking more than I need for myself, and it was 30$ for carbon sleeves. And I cannot even run some tests to see if I like the results and want to buy more and 70$ just for tests is a bit expensive...

Anyone can suggest other seller or help me some other way? May be teach me how to braid my own carbon sleeves... joking

maybe someone here that regularly orders carbon sleeves can sell you some small pieces?

I buy mine from the link below. Sold by the metre, the more you buy the cheaper it gets. I get the 10mm. According to the website they ship internationally but obviously don't know the costs being domestic customer myself.

I get mine from ACP Composites. They will send free samples and usually don't charge shipping for anything under 5 feet and best of all they don't have a minimum. You can order 1 foot if you want to. I have found that the .50 (1/2 inch) works for every tube. Excellent product too! Here's the link:
