In a Glare3 grade, each glass fiber layer has two plies: one oriented at zero degrees, and the other oriented at ninety degrees. Glare (derived from GLAss REinforced laminate ) is a fiber metal laminate (FML) composed of several very thin layers of metal (usually aluminum) interspersed with layers of S-2 glass-fiber pre-preg, bonded together with a matrix such as epoxy.

Though Glare is a composite material, its material properties and fabrication are very similar to bulk aluminum sheets. It has far less in common with composite structures when it comes to design, manufacture, inspection, or maintenance. Glare parts are constructed and repaired using mostly conventional metal working techniques.
