Fiberglass 101- Working with fiberglass and other FRPs "The fibers" @BuilderCreator

Uploaded July 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

The comments are growing, of viewers asking for more detailed information about the basics of working with fiberglass (FRPs- Fiber Reinforced Plastics). This video is an answer to that call. In this episode I discuss the most common fibers, how they are described, used and cared for. From E-glass, S-glass, Carbon fiber, and Aramids (Kevlar), I give a brief introduction of all. With this and other coming videos, viewers will be able to better understand the discussion in videos featuring the Arete Supercar project and more.
