I bought it but I didn't like the finish, looking with a magnifying glass, until they seem to be used. I suggest caution with upcoming buyers. I'll only be sure when I use it. But I will not return it, I just observed this to the seller. Aliexpress.

They look to be new to me, but just badly made. Kind of looks like the fibre matting has not been fully wetted by the resin in places. See the rough edges with ends of the fibres visible, and the pinprick holes in the blade face. One mounting hole looks like it's been drilled, starting off centre.

Eu não ia confiar nisso pra manter meu dronezinho amado seguro lá em cima no ar.
 
Hi Hill Top - in your experience, is there anything OP can do to remedy the resin issues and rough edges? Like brush-on some epoxy or anything? Or are these blades trash?

They are not used, as mentioned, just poorly made. I worked in a fiberglass tank plant for 10 years early in my career and if there is not enough resin, you get dry pockets next to the mold and the fibers do not get soaked.
 
I would try some clear epoxy or some resin but resin can be on the expensive side. Then sand it down lightly and brush some super glue on it to get the shine back. All you need is to seal the fibers.

Just an FYI - I just received a set of carbon fiber propellers from China and they are very well made and look great. No dry areas, very nice and smooth. They also came with a set of propeller guards which are also well made and much lighter than the set that DJI sells with the combo kit plus they are in a set of four and are easier to pack and care with you. The set I purchased was from Banggood - Click Here

Thought you may be interested in case you order another set.
