Comparative Strength?

Oh no DYohn is in the fiberglass forum, watch out for the stay puff marshmallow man!!! How did ghostbusters come up?Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

I guess so, lol. I have not watched it in a very longtime. Just remember those little details I posted. They should consider coming out with a part three to the movie and use Resin and hardner on the ghost then wrap them in fiberglass mat and lock them in their "ghost prison" Then again, I am bored at work and I am letting my imagination run crazy.

LoL, I imagine DYohn covered in uncured bondo walking around the install bay scaring customers, hahaha.

In Ghostbusters Two, when the "river of slim" was running under the city and going into that museum when the renaissance looking dude had stolen the little baby, etc..    Back to the slim, it reminds me of resin for some reason. And when bigc33 asked his question number two, that was the first thing that popped into my head.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

sorry for the late chime in... comparing fiberglass "weaves" is almost like comparing apples to oranges... each is different product is meant for a different and a more or less specific use... but i hate to say that all fiberglass has the exact same strength capabilities...fiberglass is exactly that, glass fibers...regarless of size they all share the exact same properties, it is just easier to see on certian scales..it is kinda like saying what is stronger a foot long bar of cold steel or ten foot long bar of cold steel...?same properties, just because one is longer then the other doesnt make it any stronger...same goes fiberglass fibers.. for instance milled glass has the exact same compressive strength as short strand or long strand regardless of it's fiber arrangement...as for tensile strength, this is where the products differ, as the greater strength is along the axis of the fibers..not that longer fibers are stronger, but the arrangement of the fibers will give strength in different directions.. Fiberglass Cloth like other Bi-axial weaved fiberglass products are specifically used for projects that require strength in two opposing directions (generally) Mat is used as a high build product that is used on projects that require strength in multiple directions..as the fibers are arranged randomly in every direction... milled glass is used a filler product with extensive strength in all directions, as once again the fibers are arranged in every possible angle on all three axis'... cured fiberglass will all share the same piercing properties at relative thicknesses, the fibers are very brittle and once cured have even less pierce strength... Carbon fiber is pretty much exactly the same as fiberglass, with higher tensile strength capabilites and much less weight, however it is more brittle then fiberglass... Kevlar is a product that has at least ten times the abrasive and compressive strength properties of fiberglass, with lighter weight...GOOD LUCK trying to cut it though...Fiberglass Guru.
