Dweller Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I was wondering what is the difference between G7, G10, G11 & FR4? Which is the clearest & best to use for lips? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Dweller, you can go to the McMaster-Carr website and read up on the technical differences among the various kinds of Garolite (that's how they list it). Most use G-10. It has good performance and is relatively cheap - other Garolite varieties are engineered to specific tasks, electrical conductivity, melting point, PSI limits, etc. All that is mostly beside the point for crankbait lips. G-10 is plenty stiff enough, impact resistant and waterproof. All said and done, most builders are hunting for a COLOR of Garolite they want to use. It can be any color - black, brown, yellow, white, green, etc, depending on who manufactured it and what substrate the Garolite uses (it is a substrate like fiberglass cloth covered with a thermoset polymer) . None of it is transparent. The best you can hope for somewhat translucent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Stay away from the g-7, it's expensive and makes a terrible lip that doesn't last. G-10 is the easiest to cut and g-11 is the hardest of the 3. G-11 is usually a translucent green and g-10 is a translucent brownish/green. I prefer the g-10 bcause it's easy to cut and finish.
