Best place to get fiberglass

Post by cautrell05 »

Looking for 1/8" black fiberglass sheet for some chassis parts and shock towers. Where is the most affordable place to get it? Mcmaster-carr only has gray, I didnt see black as an option. Thanks

Look up G10 at Mcmaster Carr. It does come in black as you want. The prices are about as good as you will find and they are a great company to deal with.

I think it was just under fiberglass sheets. I will have to search g10 when Iget inside. Their site and my droid don't play well together

I'm looking for fiberglass too... So is G10 the same as what's used in the RC industry, like on RC10 shock towers? What about the other fiberglass sheets they sell? Are they not suitable?

Yes, G10 is the yellowish fiberglass that we use. I can't speak for the other sheets they sell, you would be a Guinea pig at that point. Here are a couple of the G10 parts I have cut:

Sweet. That looks clean. Would you mind sharing how you cut it? And did you dye it blue or did you buy a blue sheet?
