fiberglass cloth recomendations

[ecblanks]

I'm having a tough time purchasing my cloth. <br />1). Type and weight(in .oz). I am using it to cover new sole pieces. I will be using tape on the seams.<br />2). Brand. Westsystem is highly recommended, but they sell in such large and expensive quantities. I don't need that much. Bondo is only $4 for 8 sq.ft (?quality?).<br />which brings me to:<br />3). Quantity. I'm covering 2 pieces: the first is 24"x70", the second is polygonal but 3 sq. ft would do it. So I really don't need much more than 2 sq.yds.<br />PLEASE help! <br />thanks.

www.raka.com<br />Great 2:1 epoxy, great prices on their cloth, great service. <br /><br />Bondo has no place on a boat.

Around here a lot of paint stores sell fiberglass cloth, Tap plastics, boat supply places and even home depot has small packaged pieces. To order online go to us composites, they have the best prices and selection I have found. On my boat I used 6oz cloth on the floor, 18 oz roven to tie the floor to the sides.
