: strong, and affordable. Any suggestions on good sources of glass

: Thank ahead of time.

If you've not used CF before, it's really easy to end up with a heavier and weaker laminate using it than just using glass. It's black and shiny when it's dry and when it's wet with epoxy.

Also no such thing as inexpensive carbon fiber.
