GRP is an insulator. Carbon fiber is a pretty good conductor, but limited by
the resin matrix.

we know that GRP (glass fibre) has a low conductivity, is carbon fibre
as low?
My understanding was the glues and surrounds of the fibres are the
problem, the varios fibres themselves act as a lightglobe type
resistor, rapidly heating, then the resins go booooomph.

Any experts?
