I have been wondering if anyone would step up and say that,lol.

I figured we could just wrap strips of CF around the whole exterior once it had been well sanded/prepped.

Then it could take all the boost you could throw at it. Think of it like the super high PSI tanks for nitrogen or even specialized gas's. Even a Pro paintball nitro tank is done this way with cross hatching of the weave.

Maybe we need a proto-type attempt. Anyone have a spare for me to dabble with ?
