    Seems to be some sort of glass reinforced resin suitable for injection molding, but I’m wondering if it’s available in sheets and if it can be glued or welded.

    I’m working on a design that this material might be well suited for, depending on cost, availability and workability.

    What?!
    I meant "Carpet". I was talking to my vaccum cleaner. I think this is all a big misunderstanding.

    Btw...is this a project for your truck?
