For those who have tried this bow glass, does it have the same streaks and blotches as the BoTuff or is it different in other ways? Bue--.

4 years ago I bought a spool of Bear Paw glass and sent it back for streaks. The following year, I was promised that the quality was up, bought another spool. Better, but I still wasn't willing to put it into production on my bows. I haven't used it in a couple of years, but it might be better than what Gordon's has been putting out the past year...but that isn't saying much!

Ive tried Bearpaw glass several times and its not a good product! alot of white streaks!

I buy my glass from a supplier in Germany, not a sponsor on this site so im not sure if I could link to his website here ?

If I'm not mistaken, bear paw glass is also made in Germany. Might be the same factory.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

rough stuff. They are concentrating on the stiffness and not clarity. Out of Henry's mouth.
Now that was a year ago when he said this.

Nope, not the same factory!
He changed supplier from Bearpaw to this new glass.

I managed to find the producer who makes the BearPaw glass and I have been in touch with their sales manager( it is a large firm who produces other products also).
They admit that their glass is not 100% free of streaks, but that it is improved and they are seriously working on a solution.
They say that the matrix used for their glass is epoxy kontra Gordon who uses a kind of vinyl-ester resin. They claim that their glass therefor have better mechanical properties than  Gordon's BoTuff. Bue--.
