Does anybody know if there’s a traditional composite material that behaves something like fibreglass? As in fibre/fabric laid up in a binder of some sort to make a stiff material in arbitrary forms.

By day, I lead engineering teams. Social impact in tech is a huge deal to me, and I specialize in #accessibility. I write about this sort of thing and more on AlexisWatson.dev
I remade a one day build bubble pipe, this time with a better setup to prevent leaks and leds. I forgot sometimes it's nice to just make for the sake of fun not views #maker#prop#toy
