![]() wrote in message ps.com... Oh okay thanks for your inputs. "But the "pouring in resin" part makes me wonder what the heck you are thinking??? " sorry I didn't literally mean "pouring the resin" I just meant applying it (with a hand brush or squeegee) polyester resin doesn't bond well to glass sheets either, but it does to glass fibers. perhaps the resin would also adhere to thin nylon mesh or a rough surfaced wire mesh would. try applying resin to a nylon or wire mesh and I think it would still be difficult to separate the two. carbon fiber and kevlar is very expensive so I'm just thinking of the possible alternatives. it's just that metal is used to reinforce cement for structures and rubber in tires. just thinking out of the box. it may sound crazy to some people but it's still worth a try. Generally speaking, when no one does something there is a good reason why. Glass is simply better than wire or nylon. I have used polyester cloth, but that is weaker than glass, but easier. |
