Anyone ever use panty hose to glass a tube?
Thanks for the input. I'm trying to avoid the hassle of rolling a 3" tube in glass. I'm working with an Estes tube which is thicker than their regular stuff trying to make it strong enough to handle H-I motors. The idea of using a sock like panty hose would sure make it easy. I originally considered using a Kevlar sock then putting the panty hose over it to get a smaller more sandable weave.
Another thought is to soak the heck out of the inside of the tube with Minwax sanding sealer. Mike Fisher of Binder Design swears by it as 'poor man's phenolic'. I've tried it and become a convert to it as a step between bare tube and glassing cardboard.
Anyone ever use panty hose to glass a tube? I'm curious how well it works especially sanded.
Rick Boyette had an article out there called Quasi-Glass doing the precise thing you mention: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ioiV9W7R4jJK-7j0klFhuw&bvm=bv.119745492,d.amc
If one wants to add a little strength to a modroc or MPR it's ok but there is a weight penalty. Going with HPR it's best to use a standard fiberglass cloth and laminating epoxy. I've tried it and it helps a bit on longevity for rocket resilence but I haven't used it in years due to the fact I moved on to larger sized rockets.
