GRP = Glass Reinforced Plastic.

FRP = Fiber Reinforced Plastic.

Carbon is fiber but carbon is not glass...

Did you ever hear of FRP? It just so happens that FRP and GRP are used
pretty much interchangeably.

Fiber reinforced plastic definitely includes carbon fiber just as it
includes glass fiber.


Very good Greg, you are learning. Now go back and read Neal's original
post, he specifically stated "GRP", as you seem to have learned, the "G"
stands for GLASS, not carbon.
