Has anyone used Giant Leap KFrame?

I like exploring new materials, and happened upon this a couple years ago:

It's dimensionally close enough to Wildman FWFG and PML phenolic of the same size that I could get a nosecone to fit without making my own. Has anyone used this? Seems like leftover stock at GLR, so maybe not a in a long time.

It will fuzz up if you sand heavy, not as bad as some phenolic that I have had laminated with kevlar sock. I use several coats of heavy filler primer and your good to go. I only have 1 K tube rocket left in the fleet and 1 kevlar sock rocket left but that one got a veil layer of 4oz glass over the kevlar to eliminate the fuzzies.
