DIY FIBERGLASS POLES
 
I am lokking for someone who has experience in making their own fiberglass
poles. I make some several years ago but gave awy the antenna after only a
year or so and I dont know how well they held up. I used fiberglass rope
used to decorate curtains I think and soaked it in resin. This seem to mke
some pretty good spreaders for a 10M quad I was wondering if anyone else had
ever tried something similar.and how well it worked.

You can buy 20 foot telescopic bream poles on E bay for about $15.
Also available in shorter lengths, 16,12,and 8 foot
You can stiffen them up as much as you want with glass stranded
adhesive tape from any office store.
Better than messing with epoxy
