Hello ppl!

I'm not sure if I wrote this here some hours before, but as I can't find it... I'll write it again.
I need to increase the static electricity in glass fibres. Anyone has an idea about how can I do it?
Sorry but I can't give more information.

Thanks for you replies in advance.
 
Burn 'em.

I mean it, literally.

In the glass fiber product trade, the process is known as 'heat cleaning'. It removes the sizing (that almost nobody admits is there in the first place) that allows glass fibers to be bundled into yarn and woven into cloth. It's normally done after the fibers are mechanically immobilized in their final desired configuration, because truly clean fibers are almost impossible to manipulate.
