stiff fabric?
i'm out of date and i want to not layup a bicycle chain cover. one
suggestion was using window screen covered with foil. The idea led to wondering if a fiberglass fabric was currently available that would bend into shape and hold the set for resin, as window screen would. does such fabric exist? |

maybe if you put just a little resin in the fibreglass to stiffen it a bit. let it cure, then bend it to shape like window screen. never tried it. just an idea. ) writes: i'm out of date and i want to not layup a bicycle chain cover. one suggestion was using window screen covered with foil.

This "stiff fabric" concept might have some possibilities for boat
building. Simply use copper screen maybe aluminum screen supported at intervals with a wood form, cover with glass cloth......... |
