I finally applied kevlar with epoxy resin and the strips have stayed on for over five years. Are you talking about abrasion or adhesion? You are one of the only persons I've ever heard claim that Kevlar has high abrasion resistance. Its relatively poor abrasion performance in many applications is legendary. When Kevlar wears, it frays. Fiberglass - less so. Glass itself is hard, Kevlar is not. Mike |
