Is bamboo fiberglass better to use than hemp fabric?
When we started this eco-board “adventure”, we tried glassing boards with hemp cloth, even burlap, and it was such a hassle. You can’t sand hemp and it doesn’t want to wrap around the rails, you need to cut “V”-notches along the rails to wrap. The boards didn’t turn out as we hoped they would. So we worked with this bamboo fiberglass, developed it a bit and it is awesome! So easy to work with, laminates clear with a light tan tint, sands really well with any grit sandpaper, looks beautiful, and allows you to make a textured deck so you don’t need wax!
