Fiberglass sheets

[Kim Armstrong]

Would like your input on some fiberglass sheets. I found some sheets for sale and no one knows what they are used for. They are 5x8 and .040-.050 thick. Semi transparant no gelcoat and flexibly probably can be bent around a 6-8" curve. I didn't want to spend alot of time fooling with the stuff if you all thought it was not a good idea. I would just "float" it like filon or aluminum and paint it cause I don't know if it is uv safe. Or will I be better off just glassing the wood and paint? Thanks

Well... I wouldn't use something that I didn't know what it was... That's my 2¢. I know you think it's fiberglass and it may be. But without knowing what it was made for, I would stay away from it.

I know a tiny bit about fiberglass. are they from translucent panels from a semi-truck trailer? can you find any stamp from manufacturer or card late into the fiberglass. are there any strings at the end that looks like they use woven in it . what dose the two surfaces look like. a picture would be great

[Kim Armstrong]

Sorry just getting back to you. There are no strings on the edges. You can some what see your hand thru it. I didn't get a picture of it but was thinking they might use it on big trucks or the roof on ups trucks. They are real fexible.

if you can take some rubbing alcohol and clean real good get the tiny spot put some fingernail polish on it dose it bound .yeah I'm betting they're either Greenhouse panels or off of a truck trailer

Tony short changes himself. The advice he only puts a 2 cent label on should cost at least a nickel!
