I've recently tried to get in touch with Cubic Tech to place an order and they have yet to get back to me. Has anyone else placed an order with them recently?
Are there are good alternative sources?

Their options seem pretty limited with the colors and a lot of it is listed as
"We have a limited supply of this material and are conserving what we do have for tent".
I was hoping to order 12 meters of .8oz/y and 6 meters of 1.3oz/y in white.
Black was actually my first choice but white is a close second.
Here are a bunch of sources — I'll leave it to you to click through to find the exact weight/colour you want.
I could be wrong, but I think that if you buy direct from Cubic, you'd have to buy a whole roll of each type/colour.
Ben Harris who has been the CSR for a long time is no longer with the company. Also, they were recently bought out by DSM Dyneema, so things are a bit busy over there and response times are lagging.
Last I heard, they have a 9meter minimum on in-stock items.
I use Extremtextil in Germany for cuben
always looked after me well :) am in UK
Valerie- Yes I have done a search.
Either they don't have what I want, or the pricing isn't good.
I guess I will just have to wait until cubic tech gets back to me.
Hey Ed,
you could try North Sails. North sails owns Cubic Tech. Most North sailmakers have the havier cuben fiber laminates in stock. Good luck.

DSM Bought Cubic Tech within the last month or two.
Ed, I recently got some stock of CT1K.18 in Black. It's .74 oz, bot .8oz, but is a common-use shelter material. I can help your 12 meter needs, feel from to contact me if you're interested.
Thanks Nathan! Msg sent thru your site.
Nathan was kind enough to set me up with some .74oz!
Now if I could find some around 1.3 for groundsheet I would be all set.
This forum is great!
