Boat Forum / Building / May 2008phenolic resin with glass fibers
I'm just curious, can phenolic resin be used to wet glass fibers (chopped strand mat, woven roving)? > I'm just curious, can phenolic resin be used to wet glass fibers > (chopped strand mat, woven roving)? I've seen phenolic panels with fiberglass in them, so I assume so, but what are you going to use it for? You should also look into whether the surface treatment on the glass in question is compatible with the resin. > lethaldri...@gmail.com wrote: > > I'm just curious, can phenolic resin be used to wet glass fibers [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > what are you going to use it for?

Isn't phenolic the resin used in exterior and marine plywood ? I don't think you would want to use phenolic on a boat. It soaks up moisture. what i know is that phenolic resin is used to make snooker balls and it's tough material. also, they're very resistant to high temperatures. > Isn't phenolic the resin used in exterior and marine plywood ? > > I don't think you would want to use phenolic on a boat.

I would be interested to hear the results. Steve > I'm just curious, can phenolic resin be used to wet glass fibers > (chopped strand mat, woven roving)? >No, I don't think it will work well.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Casady |
