By pumice???

Had it been pumace it would have been in the 1000's

And apparently you did not realize that fiberglass is widely
used in industry as heat insulation. "Red-hot" and
"fiberglass" play otgether quite nicely.


Cut the **** Doug, I've jumped off a fiberglass boat and watched it
burn to the waterline.


And I guess it didn't have any fuel or other combustibles
aboard? Fiberglass doesn't burn, period. It's GLASS.... the
melting point varies but is usually quite high and I have
personally worked with fiberglass insulation used in 3500
degree combustion chambers.

Now, the resin, on the other hand... also varies widely! If
you ever saw any fiberglass burn, with NO other cumbustable
material mixed in... then you were really watching the resin
burn.


I've never seen a fiberglass boat that was not held together with
resin....have you?

Damn it was the blackest smoke you ever seen, and after the gasoline
exploded the glass burned like old tires.
