This is a great quality product at a great price. I have used this glass to build a couple of very nice longbows. This glass is easy to work with, adds power to your bow, is very durable and looks great either black or clear!

Comments about Black Fiberglass 1.5":

I used the glass to build a deflex/reflex long bow.I ordered 1 strip 1 1/2x72x.040 and 1 strip1 1/2x72x.050.They came marked right,but both were .050.It didn't hurt me as I grind some of my laminations anyway.They worked fine and made a sharp looking bow.

Very good quality glass. I make each of my bows with Bo-Tuff glass because it reduces weight vs using wood backings and makes one heck of a smooth fast shooting bow. Adam L[...] @S M Traditional Archery
