Is there anyone in the Denver area that sells sheets of fiberglass?

There is this place: https://www.professionalplastics.com/Denver_CO. And you can order it from wildmanrocketry.com.
If you need rolls of raw fiberglass fabric, plastic-care is a good place to start.

Typin' on my phone don't expect much.

Depending on what thickness and how much you want I may have some...  I had to buy a 4 X 8 sheet.  Life time supply.

Oh, I thought you were looking for fiber glass sheet material, not fiber glass cloth.  Pre Matt's comments, Plastic-Care sells many weights of cloth.  Also, HomeDepot has glass cloth that may work for your project.  BTW, great to see you at NCR...  Rocket went Mach 2.4 to 25000'.  Burned off the launch lugs!

Sorry for the confusion, yeah I need the cloth.

Great flight yesterday, how far did you have to go to get it?  Last I heard the other James might still be getting to his (tracking said it was something like 4 miles away)

Most boating stores sell cloth too for hull repair.

Also:


They are in Englewood. They have fiberglass on huge rolls you can purchase by the foot, they also sell epoxy resin in bulk with filler fiber glass and the tools to work it.

Thanks for the help everyone... I was just cleaning up my new workbench and getting ready to start testing the ejection on my new rocket and it turns out...

  1. I have some fiberglass cloth that'll work just fine
  2. I have two motors I could have used yesterday :/

I'm always amazed what I find when I clean up also!  I find stuff I didn't even know what I had...

Just a little warning if you go to Plasticare,

they also sell carbon fiber on rolls, 
carbon fiber sleeve, 
kevlar tape, fiberglass tape...

if you don't go in with a mission, 
you'll leave with way more than you went in for.

they'll also give you the cardboard tubes if you ask.

Enjoy!
