i was wondering if tyou mix honey and fiberglass if it would make a sticky compound when heated or normally?

Question

me and my brother are aruging over the right answer

and please no smartass answers like "well i know everything because im a geniuse" yet your 11 and live with your grandma in a ghetto with the worst school lernings

Answer 1

A more correct description is whether honey and fibreglass would make a composite material.

Fibreglass is commonly used to enhance strength of many plastics. Usually it is used in combination with a thermoset called epoxy, which often looks like a viscous glue, a bit like honey in colour and texture. Although it may depend on what temperatures you use, epoxy/fibreglass is usually a sticky gooey compound when used out of the bottle, but after a period of time a reaction occur in the epoxy to set or 'cure' into a hard rigid composite when heated at elevated temperatures. Laminates and surfboards are common epoxy/fibreglass products.

Honey however does not polymerise when heated, but would get more and more runny. It'll be a sticky mess at room temperature, and when you heat it it'll get thinner, but still liquidy. Heat it enough and it'll burn because of the sugar content. And no, it won't make a compound because fibreglass is inert to the limited reactivity of honey.

Answer 2

Mixing honey (essentially sugar) and fiberglass should not produce any sort of compound since they shouldn't react.
