Lines: 13 It sounds strange that fiberglass would melt in sunlight if painted a dark color (colour for you British types). I know I have seen Corvettes painted dark colors, although I suspect that the fiberglass used in airplanes is probably different than that used in plastic roller skates. ( A mechanic friend of mine says that 'vette fiberglass is actually VERY heavy, it takes at least six people to lift the body off the car. Obviously this would be unacceptable in an aircraft ...or a serious car.) ;-) Anyone know if there are different types of fiberglass? Dave Seifert ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
