If you resin it all down, Wont the Kevlar be way more brittle? From the Body armour test videos ive seen, it appears the Kevlar works so well as soft armour is because it cushions the bullet and wont let it pass through. Absorbing the rounds power output and stopping it from penetrating the torso. Surely this would crack much easier. if you have materials spare, try make another but stack it all up and only resin the outside edges before sticking it inside a makeshift vest carrier and attempting it again. It'd be very interesting to see the results of them stacked up side by side with them being put under a lot more torture.
Brittle would break the bullet into peices in some applications. Shattering it dissipates energy too. Our plane's armor was a third kevlar, and two thirds something else. I can't remember lol. The small layer breaks the bullet, and the thicker layer protects against the shards. That's what i was told, anyway.

enjoyed the thrash metal intro, diy armor and editing haha but would of loved to see what happened against a 9mm or 40 SW :p.. any particular type of resin you used? im new in knowing what resin even is haha
Hey man, thanks for the awesome video. Want to try this myself, could you tell me what resin and catalyst you were using to stick the layers together? Also did you by any chance check it with a gun? Because 19 layers is IIIA when its vaccum sealed and stuff., but the fact its diy maybe affects the performance a lot more? Thanks man
+Desbiez Peter thanks ... I recommend buying military surplus, this is just an experiment. I used normal resin ... in the future I'll do a test with a 9mm

scott roberts I don’t think so, you put resin in every layer so the fiber glass/Kevlar separates from the other layer and disperses a lot of energy, it’s made to crumple and bulge.
Few fabrics are straight kevlar. Lots of different blends exist 28 layers is a rule of thumb, but actual ratings depends on a real world test and certification. For home builders, you don't need the certification but can duplicate the test yourself if you have firearms.
Reinforcing Fabric can have different areal weights (grams per square meter) which in turn have different thicknesses and thus the amount of layers you need obviously depends on the specific fabric you use. The angles at which the fabric layers are arranged and the type of resin as well as the curing temperature also have an influence.
If you're going to make epoxy composite body armor, you might as well just use fiberglass or carbon fiber. Kevlar is generally weaker all around but also has an exceptionally bad (relatively) compressive strength when used in an epoxy composite, making it a bad candidate for this type of application. At the very least, if you really want to use Kevlar, you should make a fiberglass or carbon fiber core and put a few layers of Kevlar on the outside for abrasion resistance.
+Calvin Krueger Not necessarily. E glass has a pretty similar tensile strength to Kevlar, but Kevlar has roughly half the compressive strength. You are right that carbon fiber isn't a very good material for stopping bullets, but neither is this type of Kevlar.
There are ways to get it. Don't mind the old stuff either. As long as it has been kept on the roll and in a package away from light, it should still be good for decades. They say kevlar armour is only good for so many years but this has more to do with wear and tear, not from the fabric itself magically dissolving.
Why on earth did you start the molding off a bunch of wrinkled up and stuck together duct tape???😒 Dont U think a flat surface would be a better starting point?? The Kevlar would be epoxied without air in between the layers making it much thinner and stronger...
Dude you must be from up state . Go the any auto salvage yard a buy the Deployed air bags cheep. Electric shears? Really dude? Look I am just bustin'ya ya know. Actually a good build. At a decent sets of plates and a carrier at close to 600.00 $ . Too rich for my blood.
Damn dude. Please get more practice before you try and use that thing in a practical setting. Surprised you hit the plate and didn't send the shaft through a wall
Now I’m safe from a kids cross bow. Thanks
god this is a terribly shot and edited video
and i especially liked the musical interludes
The into cassette recording of the guitar is awesome... not joking... brings back memories of band practice recordings...
What if you substitute the fiberglass for nylon?
What's that blue thing you used for the mold or form there?

Will 15 layers of fiberglass be bulletproof
Hi, can this protect me from live round bullets?
reminding me of my dad with that thrash metal playing
where do you get kevlar?

And how expensive is it?
I was wondering how a mix of Fiberglass and Ballistic nylon would work?
You should check my body amour build out, it's super cheap, fast and inexpensive.
I've seen your videos ... try with fiber glass and resin...UpGrade DIY Body Armor Plate ruclips.net/video/6GMY63S5Elc/видео.html
you couldve done a better job making sure the layers are flat with no pockets and its compressed tight when drying
Awesome video! What type of Kevlar was used for this?
Kevlar/Aramid
+nobodyprepper I mean the type of Kevlar. If it was Kevlar 49 that isn't bulletproof. If it's Kevlar 29 or 129 that's the bullet resistant type.
+weapondude123 ok that I can not say
because I threw in the trash
the shipment information ...
send me a great site that sells Kevlar

+nobodyprepper yeah this looks a lot like Kevlar 49. It'll have a hard time stopping more than a 9mm
Friend. Could you replicate the artisan armor made with $ 30 dollars from the ZNA Produtions channel?

if you made it to where the cuts all the same direction it wont be as strong
I agree
the next time I do it

Resins ruins the catch factor it’s made to flex and catch bullets
scott roberts I don’t think so, you put resin in every layer so the fiber glass/Kevlar separates from the other layer and disperses a lot of energy, it’s made to crumple and bulge.
I read somewhere that 28 layers of any ballistic Kevlar is = 3A

What you say
it has been done in previous videos
TheFishCostume do you think for making vehicle panels you should do the same, or is something like ar500 better?
Ok he’s using Kevlar. But you just don’t go to the fabric store and buy a whole roll of Kevlar. And if you can find it. It’s not cheap.

OK, BUT WHY MAKE IT RIGID?
ViperVenom16 could also be used as a training plate that offers spall/fragment protection.
the kevlar helmets are rigid
I think they use the resin
nobodyprepper Some countries/companies use resin, some use special plastic sheets which bond the aramid layers under pressure.
