Innegra fabric on foam

[Aussie leslie]

Okay has anyone used Innegra fabric on foamies before , what are your thoughts on it . Just right now I can buy 135 GSM 1100mm wide by the meter at $4-95 Aussie dollars it is tuff and lightweight fabric it's on special sale at the moment as I am typing this

What adhesive would you use?

You really don't need exotic fabrics for a foamy. They are not exploding at highway speeds or blown down by gusts of wind.

Had to look into that a bit.. Replaces fiberglass and stronger by weight it seems. Also quite expensive... Uncertain if it finishes any easier or easier to apply.. I see no reason why it couldn't be used since it epoxies on.

Looks like a good product if you require going 'super' lite and 'should' give durability.. Interesting product!

The reason I have been looking at it is I drive a Diahatsu terios they only have a 1.3 liter motor so my Teardrop has to be super light , I have a friend who is going to build one with me for himself he's building an aluminium chassis for his we are both trying to go ultra light .

PS They use it in USA to build Hurricane and tornado shelters so if you built your Teardrop with it you could hop in your Teardrop and be safe .

Looks like it's something similar to carbon fiber.

We’ve tried Spectra fabric in the past … It’s TOUGH , almost impossible to cut with scissors or knife and bullet proof … pricy too … Probably many fabrics that would work for covering trailers …

[Aussie leslie]

Bullet-proof now that sounds good safe inside in a cyclone or hurricane or tornado but how much is it?

[GPW]

Bit pricy , but probably similar coin to Innegra … best check on that !
