I am using the Bjorn glassfiber and had a strip that I peeled off a bowlimb. Thought I would see how much bend it could take without any damage. The diameter on this bend is about 2 inches. After it springs back to completely straight.

How thick is that Bue?
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

I would like to examine that glass under my microscope. Curious if the resin has distorted?
Did you check it out for damage Bue?

As severe as that looks, that only works out to 1.75% strain which is well below the limits for glass lams.

Testing by turning IPad around, got some wood organized. I tend to spread it all over and saving all kinds of small cut offs. Got some kindlings now.
