Title: Fiberglass Specs
Post by: marsniper27 on June 21, 2010, 09:14:00 AM
Does anyone know the specs on the fiberglass used for bows?

I am looking for things such as weight, glass axis, epoxy used for pre pregging the glass.

I am curious because i have fiberglass for snowboard building and want to know if it is similar to what bow builders use.

I don't know anyone that makes their own glass. Most use Gordon's fiberglass. They have a spec sheet on their website I think but I'm sure the recipe is proprietary.
