I agree with Al
I have to agree with Al on this one. The rules state that if a category under restricted material exists (I.E. Exotic Materials) and an item that fits that category is NOT listed, then it is NOT allowed. Now, some materials could be ambiguous under this rule, but Kevlar reinforced composite and even graphite reinforced composite are as exotic as carbon fiber composite. One that may be very ambiguous is Fiberglass, but I think a very solid arguement can be made that fiberglass is not exotic, but I will follow up with FIRST.
