That was fascinating, good find. I daresay n a few years much more of the process will be automated bringing costs down, seemed to be lot of people intervention there.

On a side note I recall reading years ago how carbon fibre had similar properties to asbestos in respect of it being a micro small thread, and the suggestion that it may present similar dangers if inhaled.

If I am remembering that accurately, guess it will be a few years before we find out.
