Fiber Glass

Post by RaZias »

Here it´s some pictures of fiber glass,
The two first ones are not a duct tape but a tissue made of fiber glass.
The third picture is fiber glass tape, notice that the tissue has a more stronger structure.

the tape is commonly used in reinforcing gypsum boards in house construction :)

if you can, use the 30min epoxy with the glass fibre :) :mrgreen:

I don´t understand the tissue saying 270g/m2...that is a very weak strenght...and it says it is harder as metal...100psi is at least 7kg/cm2...maybe they made a mistake when writting...

Razias

the spec meant the weight for the composite :)

a lighter material (thinner?) is 100gm / m2

this is bit heavier, 270gm / m2

for boat making, i think they use from 300-350gm/m2 because weight is not a consideration :)

It might be heavy, but maybe it´s more stronger.
