Hi Cody it does not look like Bear Archery ever bought much if any fiberglass from 3M.But several guy's I spoke with said the 3M is great glass and was used by Damon Howatt for several years.Wing Archery used mostly Gordon brown fiberglass.
I have about 24 pieces of white fiberglass I got from Glenn StCharles that he used on his Thunderbirds 1953-1955.I also have 4 piece of 1964 Kodiak artic gray and one piece of orange for the belly sides of 1959 or 1960 Kodiak.bd
