/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2553479
screw /fa, I asked them for help designing shrapnel protection for children made of fiberglass cloth (see >>2543921). They only mocked my idea and talked about being 'effay'. Fuck them.

A guy shot my plates with 9mm three times and the cloth test piece with .22. Plates held up sofar, the cloth not atall. Not even folding it once and twice stopped it remotely. I figured, fibreglass does not bend, like other types of cloth. It sure is strong when adhered with epoxy resin, but totally weak without it. So I went trough military history and body armor develpoment. In the early days of the Vietnam war, ballistic nylon has been used in flak vests. Bought some 600d nylon for cheap (d stands for denier and the more d the better), my sewing machine can't handle this stuff in multiple layers. Guess I've to use leather rivets?

did somebody mention epoxy resin?
