Re: Legality of Fiberglass as a building material?

Even though it is legal there are a few things I would want to say.
Fiberglass is not very light
It is also somewhat brittle depending on shape etc.
I say both from experience as me and my friend were putting away an entire field's worth of the playing surface from Lunacy, aka regolith, and it took us a long time because if you picked up too many sheets at once it would crack, splinter, and form sharp edges.

Maybe my views are somewhat skewed from my experiences with fiberglass so maybe things will work out differently for you.
