Does anybody know if there’s a traditional composite material that behaves something like fibreglass? As in fibre/fabric laid up in a binder of some sort to make a stiff material in arbitrary forms.

Paper mache is one but it’s too weak (I think, maybe there's a super version?). I'm considering things like cotton or flax in casein glue or pine resin... but I doubt it will work.

(And my last casein glue experiment stunk like rotten milk for weeks!)

@john I have a very vague memory of the documentary about the glider built in Colditz using something like ground up millet, painted onto fabric, to form the skin for the fuselage and wings

Building a slightly daft webapp using 2000s spec JS techniques (lots of <script> tags, no bundling) has been pretty fun. Ditching the frameworks can be rewarding
