hi all, need to ask some advice regarding wet fibre glass cloth. my garage flooded about a week ago and i have just realised that my roll of cloth is soaked. i am assuming that it is now useless, but if anyone knows otherwise please let me know -it was about $200 worth so i would like to slavage it if i could. tim.
Wow…sorry to hear that. I’ve never had it happen but if it did happen to me…I would try and use it but only on a board that I was going to do a heavy tint or opaque. Otherwise I would think you would see water stains and irregularities.
Howzit tubetim, Bummer but not necessarily the end of the roll. If there are no water marks then just let it dry out real good and it should be fine. Back in the 80's I was doing some repair work for Rick Holt and neede some glass rope for fins. All rick had at the time was some glass rope that the shop cat had peed on, it smelled but it worked fine for the fin repair,it was just a little yellow.Aloha,Kokua

I heard cat urine has a half life of 25- ? years , or 20,000 surfs or washes …whichever comes first…

perhaps a little ironing might drive out residual moisture
get an iron from the salvation army
use your moms iron and ya might get clipped
cut the length an theb give it a slide
test batches are revealing…
