I use Kevlar for my HLG fuse with great success. I just bought a second
batch of cloth and noticed that the old scraps left over are a couple shades
darker than the new kevlar. This is, as I've read, because of breakdown
somewhere at the molecular level. I've also heard that a layer or two of
fiber glass is supposed to prevent this breakdown.
