Looks like 3 inches thick is the max...

The rules don't really say how thick the extruded fiberglass structural members can be.

What it says is up to 3 inches by 3 inches. I suppose this is means that if you can find an extruded solid block of fiberglass that is 3 inches by 3 inches by what ever length you want, you can use it. The weight is going to be a killer, but it is up to you.

The 1/8 inch limit (I think) is probably refering to fiberglass MAT (not written but implied from prior year's rules). In prior years, you could use up to a 4'X8' sheet (plus resin of course) now we can use an unlimited supply.

I hope this helps.
