I'm just curious, can phenolic resin be used to wet glass fibers
(chopped strand mat, woven roving)?

I've seen phenolic panels with fiberglass in them, so I assume so, but
what are you going to use it for? You should also look into whether the
surface treatment on the glass in question is compatible with the resin.

I don't think you would want to use phenolic on a boat. It soaks up
moisture.

Isn't phenolic the resin used in exterior and marine plywood ?

what i know is that phenolic resin is used to make snooker balls and
it's tough material.

also, they're very resistant to high temperatures.

No, I don't think it will work well. Perhaps in an autoclave under pressure,
but not in the same manner you do lay up of FG. Try it and report back here.
I would be interested to hear the results.

Why? Is it cheaper than polyester? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
