Re: Legality of Fiberglass as a building material?

I wondered that myself. Several years ago, I build a 21 ft long, triple seated kayak from plywood & epoxy & fiberglass---very strong and it only weighed 45 pounds.

It was great fun to see the looks on people's faces when we would arrive at the lake and my 7yo dd & I unloaded it from the roof of our minivan by ourselves. Just had be careful on windy days!

My mistake, I thought you were referring to depleted uranium...

The Bedford material is available from both MSC and McMaster Carr in the volume teams would need. McMaster search raw materials - plastics - Fiberglass and you'll find it.

We have been using Fiberglass since 2001 on all our bots. Never had splintering, or any serious breakage for that matter. I wonder if people with these problems are using pultruded fiberglass?

Its 1/3 the weight of aluminum and 1/5 the weight of steel for the same strength.
