    How is that not plastic?
    Carbon fibre without plastic is just a hairy string
    And with silicone I don’t even understand where the confusion is coming from? What else would it be?

      You sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and now I’m less sure of what plastic actually is. Epoxy, which is used for carbon fiber among many, many, many other things, isn’t something I’d say is plastic but I looked it up and it was about 50/50 on plastic vs not. I found similar conflicting information about silicone but it was leaning more toward not being a plastic.

        What would you define as plastic then?
        Or maybe share some source claiming epoxy isn’t plastic?
