What the hell did I just watch?

Great video. If one were to want to make ballistic plates out of kevlar, i've heard that K29 745 would work? Would epoxy resin work just fine? What hardener should I use?

@kittykawaiix3tr LOL!

I can`t see you movie because of your fu##ing ad.

kevlar doesn't melt at all. It chares at well over 500 degrees. Put it in fire and you can see.

I have been trying to learn how to make bulet-proof armor. A friend told me that I can use melted Kevlar?

what is the best material for the music instrument? I am thinking very thick guitar to build one? cheers

@JamestownTV Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up for me :) I've never attempted anythign with Kevlar so i can't say i'd have understood the difficulty!
At about 3:20 you say you'd rather use more resin, but if im right i recall that you need less resin to make stronger parts? I mean make sure its soaked through but too much just leads to a weaker part i was told?

I believe he was only trying to emphasize the difficulty of wetting out Kevlar. It's true that less is more, however you must make sure the cloth is saturated.

is it a good idea to make "carbon fiber - kevlar - fiber glass" sandwich if i want to make fender for my car?

I would skip the Kevlar part. Make is out of several layers of 6 ounce fiberglass cloth and as a final touch for cosmetics use a layer of carbon twill weave cloth.
