Re: [bolger] Re: LS Margaret Ellen

Hello, All,
One ounce angel hair and other weight fiberglass cloths up to 20 oz.,
can be had from Defender Industries: <http://www.DefenderUS.com/>.
Their prices seem reasonable. They also carry a variety of plastic
laminate fabrics like Vectracloth and Kevlar as well as epoxy compatible
chopped fiberglass matting. Btw, I always understood that matting was
used to build up thickness in a laminate and was not particularly strong.
Going to the other end of the spectrum, while I guess we're not supposed
to talk about it on this list <g>, Defender also carries pure graphite cloth

for a mere US$35.79 a yard in the 50" width. Slap some of that stuff on
your CD plywood Brick and watch people scratch their heads in wonder,
:o)
