In this project video I showcase how to use HDPE film (often found in grocery bags and painter films) as a laminate for composite fabrics. This time around We'll be focusing on light weight craft nylon as the fiber reinforcement. This created some of the lightest plates shown so far on this channel, with one being 7lbs 2 oz and handling 6 shots of the 5.56 (55gr FMJ) and one from the 7.62x39 (123gr FMJ) With further refinement I think we can create some extremely lightweight rifle rated plates at home!
I also showcase a new method for laminating HDPE using a griddle!.
where to buy the griddle I used: www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-...
the Lightweight Nylon (sport/utility grade) I used: www.joann.com/sport-nylon/199...
I also found some from hobby lobby that weighed the same.
ceramic used: www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Select...
The HDPE was mostly grocery bags, but I also used HDPE painters plastic.
See you all very soon, take care!
