G10 is a fiberglass sheet laminate, a kind of composite material created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaked in epoxy resin, and then compressing the resulting material under heat until cured.11 Feb 2019

Only problem is can be quite expensive in thicker stock (but similar, if not less, than PTFE and more suited as a ‘boatbuilding’, rather than ‘engineering’ material).

I knocked up my own G10 equivalent by laying up 650gsm and epoxy over an old board separated by a layer of peel ply. Cost a couple of quids worth of materials. Used for through hull backing pads.
