Anyone know where to find sheets of glow-in-the-dark carbon fiber?

Looked around a few places domestically, and in the USA but coming up empty so far. Thanks!
 
Talk to Chuck with Alpha Knife supply, if anyone can tell you where to find it he should know.
 
Thank you. I just talked to Jessica at AKS, and she said they don't have anything like this, sadly. I found some on Etsy, might have to go that route.
 
I am doing up some GITD burlap camo (green and tan) and may try some GITD carbon fiber burl blocks this weekend. I have found a 6 ton press seems to be too much pressure to make my own "mycarta" type material with burlap and CF, so I am going to do some test pieces this weekend with much less pressure. My carbon fiber is typically a marbled look and not the patterns, but I may try cutting out the squares to fit into my mold to give a more traditional CF look.

This is a piece of the marbled CF with blue shredded burlap in it:

USAknifemaker.com has a version of Krinite called starlight.

Edit:
Spelled Kirinite.
 
Try "Maker Material Supply" in Texas. They show a few in stock.

Also search for "chop glow carbon fiber"
 
Check these out. Danke42 nailed it. Great place to do business with too. Let me know how you like working the material, I’ve been interested but haven’t jumped in yet.
