I have no experience with CF and a brief horrible experience with fiberglass. What is more difficult to repair about CF compared with fiberglass? I would think they are similar difficulty to work with considering they both use a mat of high tensile material and a resin.
Can CF be used in a chopper gun like fiberglass, or can it only be laid out as a mat?

Worse than aluminum or steel? Both require mining and refining, with massive amounts of energy to process.
The recycle issue is of little concern since we aren't at risk of running out of carbon.
