While searching for hemp fabric suppliers I came across bamboo fiber glass. Never heard of such a thing. I wanted to do some tests w/ hemp over the summer but now I think I want to try dabbling w/ this bamboo fiberglass too.
Might have to use multiple layers to make up for its' weave and its' light weight....
Anyone have any experience with this or know more about it?
apparently it has to be stretched over whatever you laminate with it.
There's a new greenlight store near me, I'll go check it out. Been wanting to experiment with this stuff for a while. My guess is its surfboard stuff so it's going to be thin and weak, will require at least two layers on each side of core i'd imagine.
Yup that's where the store is. If you get a chance to talk to the folks there can you fill us in on any details they have to offer?
I like the look of the weaved bamboo as a top-sheet. I think that looks great on a snow board or ski.
Come to think of it skibuilders sent me a free ski hat made from bamboo fibers and it's very stretchy. Wonder if the bamboo fiberglass is similar. Might be too stretchy if it's like the hat.
