  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • I tested kevlar myself. Check it out. /watch?v=r7PAlkIW85s  Proven stuff man.

  • @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!
