Filament Wound Epoxy Tubes are lightweight composite fiberglass tubes that are created by winding fiberglass filaments and epoxy resin around a mandrel and then curing the tube to make a composite. Less flexible than solid fiberglass, Filament Wound Epoxy Tubes (FWET) are excellent structural reinforcement. You might recognize these gray fiberglass tubes as tent poles, but they have many other uses as well, including antennas and LARP boffer cores. Fiberglass is not conductive, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and performs well in acidic and corrosive environments. We offer a range of diameters from .248” to 1.065”.

Cutting Fiberglass
To cut fiberglass, use a Dremel motor with an abrasive cutting wheel for the cleanest cut possible. You can also use a fine-toothed hacksaw. Be sure fiberglass is held securely in place, be careful not to crush. Tape around area to be cut to prevent splintering or separation of fibers. Wear eye protection and a dust mask.
