Hmm, a little tale from the model world.
A carbon spar model hit power lines (100kv!)on approach,the carbon spar was
vaporised from root to tip despite being underneath a glass skin(which was
also vaporised) the I guess that would do it.
Bit more feasible than 25000k eh?Given that wire strikes

I have used vinyl gloves with polyester and they offer little if any
protection. The resin appears to penetrate the gloves easily, leaving
your hands 'slimy'.
Latex gloves do seem to offer protection with polyester, certainly
your hands are still dry and powered from the gloves after handling
Hello Mike
I can help with this one. (Information source - Chemwatch.)
The following glove selection is based on a modified presentation of
the "Forsberg Clothing Performance Index". The effect of the substance is
taken into account in the computer-generated selection.
I saw a comment the other day in the discussion group about a Vega form
someone when asked if he would fly one replied "Fly one! I wouldn't walk

I believe this is a minor risk to glider pilots...
The energy required to ignite an epoxy/carbon fibre marix will require that the glider hits the ground at about 25,000 kph.
If you have suffient altitude to make this your groundspeed you are unlikely to hit a solid object (except perhaps the
