Debbie and others,
I have found chopped nylon fiber sold by my local
concrete supply business.

Check with your local clay supplier.
I believe both Seattle Pottery and Clayart Center
here in the Seattle area have it.

also look up your local plastic injection molding company. glass filled plastic & nylon fibers are also added to various plastic products. i've gotten graphite powder from my local supplier for free ~ a life time supply at 5 pounds of graphite. also, i picked up some flourecent powder to try glow raku.

The idea of glass-filled plastic and nylon fibres is most interesting, I've
never come across these. The polypropylene fibres I used were made by TDP
Limited in the UK and available in one of my local builders suppliers for
adding to concrete. This company also make other fibres as matting for
building and landscaping. Most of these products look too finely woven for
plaster to work its way into effectively, with the possible exception of
their landscaping fabric which looks courser and loosely woven. I doubt it
has the strength of fibreglass 'tho, and that's what I'd like a
non-irritating substitute for. Any suggestions?
I guess nothing is as strong as glass in the non-metal fibre world and very
interesting that it should even be a component in injection moulding,
presumably for this reason?
Many thanks to everyone who has replied on this subject so far. If anyone
has a good suggestion for replacing fibreglass matting with something nearly
as strong I'd love to hear it! Regards,

I buy bags of jute and hemp fiber that I use for re-inforcement in
plaster contstructs and molds. Works well.
