A method of making a heater structure and a corresponding heater structure are disclosed. The method comprises providing a porous reinforcement material such as glass cloth, applying a metal to the porous reinforcement material such as by spraying and applying resin to the porous reinforcement material with metal already applied thereto to make the structure substantially rigid. Applying the metal to the porous reinforcement material before applying the resin provides a number of advantages such as enhanced shear strength between the porous reinforcement material and the applied metal layer and the ability to manipulate the porous reinforcement material with metal applied thereto prior to applying the resin. The heater structure may be used in many applications, some of which arc described.
