If you saturate any sort of cloth or felt with something that goes on liquid, then gets hard, you have created FRP (fiber reinforced plastic). The liquid that gets hard can be polyester resin (the cheap stinky stuff), epoxy resin (better, more expensive), varnish, shellac, etc. The fabric can be cotton, fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fiber, or paper. Google Taylor paper glass for an example.
