Step up Whosmat. It isn't going to cost that much to buy the 50". They are so much less expensive than everyone else. Probably be cheaper than someone with 38" anyway. Next size down would probably be 36" anyway.<br /><br />You can always cut off the 12" and lay it at one end or the other of your run.

it's not about the cost. 50" is just too big for my project. i guess i can cut it, but i figured somebody has to make a smaller size.<br /><br />matt

Can't you use their biaxial? - that's the stuff West System recommends for use with their epoxy<br /><br />Here is the 38" stuff Contains double bias (17oz) stitched at 45degrees along with one layer of 3/4oz mat The following biaxial fabrics are compatible for use with polyester resins, epoxy resins and vinyl ester resin<br /><br /> http://www.uscomposites.com/specialty.html
