The Spectra which is a polyethylene fiber can also be used as a hinge material and apparently some are using it. However, being the world's strongest fibers (10 times stronger than steel and up to 40% stronger than Kevlar) is also very expensive. The point I tried to make is that most people are using abreissgewebwe(peel-ply) which is a polyester fabric. It's widely available and inexpensive. The idea is to use a material which is pores and epoxy resin won't stick to it.
