FRP...Pros and Cons

[Islandtrader]

I've used them a few times on budget tops I've built for friends. They don't hold up well over time. I think the UV rays get to them and they look like they dry up and then crack. They arn't as strong as the ones I lay up with 2 layers of 1 1/2 ounce mat. They are great for bathrooms.. lets leave them there....

OK I think I got my terminology wrong.

Look at this web page.
