Product Details

G10 fiberglass boards are made of a special glass epoxy laminate that has extremely high strength. G10 fiberglass is used in marine applications due to its superior strength, moisture resistance, and excellent electrical and fire insulation.

Fiberglass boards make excellent non-corrosive backing plates for high load deck hardware or bond to engine room bulkheads to hold mounting brackets. G10 boards are sold in 1/4 and 1/2 inch thickness.

G-10 is similar in strength and density to starboard, but because it is formed from epoxy resin, it bonds easily using most two-part epoxies.

Available in Backing Plate sizes and full sheets.

Excellent Strength
By Whisper from Long Island

Verified Purchase

I can use it for a backing as a single sheet or laminate two pieces together for extra thickness and strength. I use it to reinforce the deck where I mount winches, cleats, air scoops, and other hardware. It will wear the teeth down on a steel Saber saw blade in a short cut. Use carbide blades, circle hole saws, and router bits.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Versatile Strong & Hard (but eats cutting blades)
By Robo Nav from Seattle, WA

Bought the 6 pc package of the 1/4 x 12 x 12 plates. Drills easily. Miter saw cuts well. Even sands easily. Eats jigsaw blades like there's no tomorrow - best I found is using blades for cutting sheet metal, but that still only gets you about 10" per blade. Great material!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I would certainly buy this product again
By Refurbishing the Kathleen from Ventura, CA

Verified Purchase

My sailboat had no backing plates on any of the stanchions or railing fittings. I found these products perfect for this application. The boards were easy to cut and drill and due to there construction would not suffer from exposure or any water intrusion.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I bought this to plug a hole in the dash of my boat. The previous owner had cut a hole and I needed to fill it. Worked perfectly.

Backer plate for stem head on a dinghy
By rictifyit from Illinois

Verified Purchase

backer plate, plain and simple. I like how you can sand down the sharp edges of it to fit the contour of your application. It also drills easy, but it doesn't flex at all! Great backer plate, although if you're buying only one, the shipping will ding you. I found that a bit ridiculous.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Tough material, perfect for my repair
By Big Al from Chicago

I used the G10 board 1/4" thickness to replace the bottom of my wet exhaust muffler. It was perfect. I cut the 12"x12" x1/4" piece into an 11" diameter circle and glassed it in. I cut the material with a jig saw and finished the edges with a belt sander. It is hard and I did go through about 6 blades cutting out my piece. Expensive but worked great for my needs.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Yes
By Big Al from Chicago

I received my 12"x12" x1/4" piece and had to cut an 11" diameter circle out of it. I used a jigsaw. Burned up 12 Bosch jigsaw blades but it cut nice. Use a belt sander to finish it off. Very tough stuff. I'm using it to replace the bottom of my wet exhaust muffler. Nor I just have to glass it in.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
