what is volan fiberglas?
Volan refers to the finish applied to the cloth during the mfg. process. Silane finished cloth is the other alternative used in surfboard building today. Volan cloth when used without pigments or tints displays a light green tint to the board. This being the case you should plan on cut laps as free laps would be too visible and ragged looking. Silane finished cloth, on the other hand, is bleached and will allow for the free lapped lam jobs seen on many of today’s boards. Tom S.>>> what is volan fiberglas?

Also Volan tends to dent more , but does’nt shatter as easy.
