How to make composite material from old textile.

In this project I am trying to find a suitable textile fibre to create a strong composite that can be used to make a chair body from.

Together with Lars Larssen there have been done some tests last week. The textiles were soaked in epoxy resin, to find out how strong they act as fibres.

First the epoxy and hardener were mixed properly.
