Fiberglass Cloth,4 Ounce E-Glass,50 inches 5 Yards,62 Sq Feet

This is e glass and for epoxy applications. Weave is very tight. When it came folded I was worried about seams and folds. Happily there were no issues when I lay’d it down and applied epoxy. There were no pulls in the material. You need to apply a healthy amount of epoxy to the surface of your project first, then put fabric down. The fabric absorbs the epoxy within a few minutes. You can then squeegee it smooth. Do not try to put epoxy on the surface and hope it goes thru top to bottom-would be disastrous. Squeegee’s nicely smooth. Can get a few air bubbles if not enough epoxy goes down on your surface (my project was plywood). Material will cut with a sharp razor.

If you've been getting fiberglass cloth at Home Depot, Stop it! Try some of this and you'll know what garbage that is. This is fine threads tightly woven so it doesn't come apart and leave long strings clinging to your gloves (as much) and is much easier to place. This is at a good price, too. Particularly when you consider Prime free shipping and you can get it in a day or two. I see they have 1708, too, at a good price.

Buying in rolls is better, but I didn't need nearly the amount of fabric that comes in a roll, so I ordered this. It wasn't badly creased, and it worked great in my canoe repair. Made stout, smooth patches!

I have built a ton of boats over the years and used Fiberglass extensively. Yes, this fiberglass feels more like plastic than fabric. Also, it has wrinkles from being folded. Lastly, it does not absorb the resin easily. However, for the price, I really can’t complain. I would strongly encourage you to wet your work surface with resin before you lay down the fiberglass. It will greatly help with the wet out. I always use a body filler spreader and I really worked the resin into the fabric. It cured nicely and did not fray as much as more expensive cloths that I’ve used. Yes, I would buy this again and even recommended with the caveat that it will require some additional effort.

One big plus was that it was shipped in a sealed plastic wrap. I have in the past ordered from commercial suppliers that fulfilled the order from bulk rolls. That in itself is not a problem, but on soggy humid days on windy days it can be a problem. Dirt can get into the fabric making it difficult to extract. Also, getting the cloth or mat wet lends to its own issues of potential adhesion issues. This pack can be opened just before using, preventing loss of time drying or cleaning the mat. Otherwise all things as expected.

Tight weave allows for much easier handling and likely better strength. Doesn’t unravel when cutting like some fiberglass.

a little finer weave that expected but still does the job of making more permanent covering for wood turned bird hose roofs.

This is great cloth. Strong, flexible, and saturates easily when applied by hand or with a vacuum bag.

mi proyecto quedo muy bien
