I never mentioned the word FUZZY. I was referring to TOW as pulled from 55g.
carbon cloth. It is about .002" thick and it is continuous and the fibers are
very closely packed. It is the lightest form of carbon I know of. I then run it
under a roller and spread it apart until it measures a mere .001" thick. I then
apply it to the component I am reenforcing with Ambroid diluted 3 or 4 to one.
Super light and super strong.

With indoor construction techniques, the case is never closed even when 95%
builders agree on something (a rarity.) If SB does make any F1d parts from fuzzy
carbon tow, hitting it with Duco, he would be the first to say what he does has
nothing to do with evidence that a case is closed.
Are you claiming that dry fuzzy carbon, after hit with Duco has better strength
to weight ratio than modern prepreg carbon?
