phenolic resin with glass fibers

[lethal...@gmail.com]

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.

Isn't phenolic the resin used in exterior and marine plywood ?

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.

No, I don't think it will work well. Perhaps in an autoclave under pressure,
but not in the same manner you do lay up of FG. Try it and report back here.
I would be interested to hear the results.

Why? Is it cheaper than polyester? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
