This is off-topic, but since you folks are so knowledeable... I recently bought a surplus roll of fiber said to be kevlar. It is yellow as expected, and also quite stiff (doesn't stretch). I put some of it close to a flame and it didn't melt and wouldn't catch fire, but it would char. I am wondering if there is a simple yet foolproof way to identify the fiber as kevlar. Any other ideas/opinions?
