Phenolic resins predate the space program by several decades. Bakelite was the first, developed in 1907 by a Belgian chemist. Lockheed didn't exist until 1926, whilst NASA came along in 1958 (the successor to the NACA that was created in 1915). G10 is an industrial standard originally set for the GRP used in circuit boards. Micarta is technically a trade name, but is generally used to any mean resin impregnated fabric.
Thank you so much for this video. The are products that I been interested in using for a while. Great break down
Thanks. Glad it helped.
So phenolic resin is basically just BakeLite, same material used to make handles for cooking pots and pans.
The resin itself, yes, but I am using canvas phenolic, which includes layers of cloth. Bakelite is usually just unreinforced phenolic resin.

Thanks for the information
Great Vid !!! When are u gonna start making the Micarta ???
Seems Pretty Simple from what I've Seen ???
Thanks. Making micarta is not simple at all. I have made some in the past but it takes a long time to perfect.
@@BIGDH2000 I guess when I was thinking Simple, I was comparing it to g10 or carbon fiber, which I assume you can't make at home ?
@@troymintz1101 no matter what type you try to make, it is a very messy process. Getting even pressure is almost impossible without a suction setup.
Phenolic is something I've worked with a few times. It cuts like G10 or micarta, but stinks to high heaven. Lol
It does stink.
You may have missed the warning sign but you seem to be standing in the "Fart Zone" be safe!
