Fiberglass

[JimClark]

I was wondering if anyone has any sources for fiberglass that is in flat pannels and already has the resin in it. It would need to be as strong as 1/32 plywood. For my next boat I would like to do something different and not use plywood to build it but I still want to construct it in the same manner that I am used to which is with frames and stringers ect. maybe it wouldn't even be fiberglass but it needs to be as strong as 1/32 plywood and the same weight or even better same strength and lighter than plywood.

You might call these guys, didn't see what you're looking for on their site, but they say call for a full inventory.

Found a ton in searches, just searched for Graphite, Fiberglass, and Panel.

Have Fun!

Jim,

I understand Bandit gets it free from the sculling shop next door. You might try him.

Ask Tracy at Electric Thunder, too. He might know of a source. 509-783-0332.

Boeing Surplus?
