What's the relationship between the softness and hardness of fiberglass mesh and the surface glue?
Fiberglass mesh is differentiated by its material, generally divided into gold-pot and imitation gold-pot. Gold-pot is typically coated with emulsion, while imitation gold-pot mesh has two gluing methods: urine glue and latex. Generally, urine glue mesh is stiff and brittle, lacks toughness, and easily breaks. Emulsion mesh has high tensile strength, is non-sticky, and has a soft feel. Some customers prefer a firmer texture or better hold. They typically adjust the glue ratio slightly, applying more glue to the mesh to achieve a firmer texture or better hold. Some customers believe that more glue on the mesh will improve overall firmness or hold. This is a misconception and a blind belief. Everything has a limit. You should purchase and shape the mesh based on your specific needs. Urea glue mesh can be made softer, even if it's brittle or hard. Adjusting the oven temperature and adjusting the glue ratio are both ways to adjust the mesh's hardness.
