Ok so I am getting ready to do my first armor build and when looking into fiberglass materials I saw a lot of options.
So here is what I am trying to figure out For the fabric I see glass, Kevlar, and carbon fiber.
For armor building is there a necessary benefit in each product as well as is there a recommended and best resin product; if the recommended is the best cool. I just don't want to find myself ruining hours of work using a poor product or then regretting a material choice later. My goal is to have very rigid and durable armor, something that can take a fair beating because I am not the gentlest of people and I don't want to see my work fall apart either.
Any way the simple question is Glass vs Kevlar vs Carbon and what is the preferred resin to use because there is a lot of choice out there and I don't want to end up making the wrong one.
Thanks
