I'm looking for a supplier of rectangular carbon fibre bars in the UK ideally 4mm thick for a mandolin build can anyone point me in the right direction?

I can get 2mm bars, would it be OK to laminate these together?

It would be fine to laminate them together.

My mistake, I didn't notice that you wanted rectangular ones rather than square.
All the best,
