User questions & answers

Question:	Is this 1oz or 1.5 oz fiberglass
Answer:	Yes. I’m in the process of doing it now. This is what I’m using. It works great.
Question:	Can you use this for replacing a boat floor
Answer:	It is 1.0 OZ per Sq. Ft. good thickness for many various applications. I recommend this product.
Question:	Is this 1.5 or 2ounce
Answer:	Yes, this product works very well with epoxy, polyester or vinyl ester resin! Don’t forget to sand the area for using this fiberglass. Very nice product.
Question:	Does this work with expoxy resin or poly only
Answer:	Yes woven cloth and roving are specified differently. Chopped strand mat is specified in either grams per square meter or ounces per square foot. In the case of this product it would be 450 grams per square meter or 1.5 oz per square foot. We also offer a 1 oz version of this product (also epoxy compatible but the product page is out of date) it is ASIN: B01N20MS32. I hope this answers your question.

Answer:	Thank you for the interest in our goods. This product will be suitable for your needs. You're welcome to place an order.
Question:	New to fiberglass, I have an aftermarket fiberglass body kit for a car of mine that needs modified. Is this what I need
Answer:	Now I understand why I had problems with this cloth. It was very difficult to lay down. And is to thick for epoxy.
Question:	Just for clarification, is it safe to assume that this mat doesn't have the styrene binder that makes most CSM not easily used with epoxy
Answer:	Our product is an E-glass type. Therefore you can use any type of epoxy/resin. It is rather easy to use the woven cloth, the best variant is to choose the E-glass type of the woven cloth, in addition, to keep the woven cloth dry when using with the fiberglass mat.

Bondo Fiberglass Cloth

Bondo Fiberglass Cloth is perfect for any size job, large or small. The fiberglass cloth is a versatile repair material for use on automobiles, boats, tubs, showers, sinks, pools, hot tubs and more. It works on a variety of surfaces, including metal, fiberglass, and wood. Strong woven cloth is cut with scissors for uniform repairs.

Bondo Fiberglass Cloth provides structural reinforcement for stronger repairs and must be used with Bondo Fiberglass Resin PN 401, 402, 404 (sold separately). The product repairs holes, cracks and gaps. When used with Bondo Fiberglass Resin, repairs are 100% waterproof, making the products ideal for tub, shower, sink, pool, hot tub, boat repair and more. Bondo Fiberglass Cloth is slightly thinner than fiberglass mat, making it easier to work with and easier to hide when finishing. This product can also be used on additional surfaces such as wood, concrete and metal to provide extremely strong, durable and waterproof repairs.

Reinforced Repair Areas

When properly used with Bondo Fiberglass Resin, Bondo Fiberglass Cloth reinforces repair areas and allows for repainting so that the repair looks like the original surface once the job is complete. Fiberglass cloth is easy to cut to size and shape for customized repairs on automobiles. To complete the repair, you'll add layers of fiberglass cloth along with fiberglass resin to fill the hole. Once the patched area has cured, it can be sanded smoothly so that it is level with the surrounding surface. A fiberglass repair completed with resin and cloth is fully compatible with being painted.

Benefits of Fiberglass Cloth

Fiberglass cloth is a woven fabric that helps reinforce repairs with its high strength to weight ratio. Use this fiberglass cloth where resin alone would not provide sufficient strength. Fiberglass cloth offers numerous benefits, including a resistance to expansion or contraction as temperatures change. Fiberglass cloth will not absorb moisture and is non-flammable. The fiberglass cloth is also resistant to most chemicals.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the length of the whole fabric in inches
Answer:	I bought the 6.48 oz. I don't know what roving is. This stuff matched up to other 6oz stuff I had purchased elsewhere. Like I told others, this stuff is not very absorbent. You really have to work the resin in to wet this stuff out properly. I glassed two 14 foot pontoons for a trimaran with this stuff. I mixed multiple small batches of resin for a single 14 foot lay up. I tried doing it with one big batch or resin but I ran out of time. It is kinda hard to work with. The side benefit is that it does not soak up a bunch of resin. My layups were pretty light, no pooling. Good luck. This stuff worked for me.
Question:	is this true 4oz. cloth or is it roving
Answer:	Hi, it's E-glass. Thanks.
Question:	Is it E- or C- or A-glass fiberglass
Answer:	Ilve in Hawaii and the only cost effective way to get it here is folded in a box. When it got here I rolled it onto a tube. Not sure what all the whining is about. Go find yourself a tube for goodness sake. When it comes off of my tube it is perfectly flat. I ordered 3 - 50 yard lots to make 2 - 15 foot amas for a trimaran. I have about 10 yards left on my tube and the fiberglass works fine. I will say that this fiberglass is not very absorbent. You have to work hard to wet this stuff out. I used slow set epoxy. Because my amas were so long I would mix multiple small batches to do one lay up. If you try to do a 15 foot lay up with 2 layers of fiberglass and mix one big batch of resin, you will run out of time. My first lay up went into the trash. 5 yards of fiberglass and probably a quart of epoxy into the dumpster. I hated this stuff at first. But it does the job If you go slow. Now I love it because it is so friggin cheap. And I have used it on multiple projects.I have sailed my amas in some pretty heavy seas and they are holding up nicely.
Question:	With all the complaints about folded glass; is this being shipped in a roll yet
Answer:	Yes, but using right resins is the key. Fiberglass Is for universal use. Make sure you are using marine specific resin.

High Tensile Strength

Fiberglass cloth is one of the strongest textile fibers, having greater specific tensile strength than steel wire of the same diameter, at a lower weight.

Dimensional Stability

Fiberglass cloth has low elongation under load, generally 3% or less. Glass fibers produce fabrics with excellent dimensional stability under various types of conditions.

High Heat Resistance

Fiberglass cloth has excellent heat resistance at relatively low cost.

Fire Resistance

Fiberglass cloth is composed of inorganic materials, and are non-combustible, a natural choice where flammability is of concern.

Good Thermal Conductivity

The rapid heat dissipation of fiberglass cloth is particularly important in electrical insulation applications.

Good Chemical Resistance

Like glass itself, fiberglass cloth is highly resistant to attack by most chemicals.

Outstanding Electrical Properties

Fiberglass fabric withstands high temperature and has low moisture regain. Along with its high dielectric strength and low dielectric constant, glass is of major importance and usefulness in the electronics.

Durability

Being inert, fiberglass cloth is unaffected by sunlight, fungus or bacteria.

User questions & answers

Question:	would this be good to seal over fiberglass honeycomb for a deck for my boat? Using it to seal out water and for added strength
Answer:	Yes, depending on what epoxy you use.
Question:	Will it wet out and turn clear with epoxy
Answer:	Yes, but you will also need two-part epoxy resin to apply. If you floor has soft spots, you will need to replace the subfloor first.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will one gallon of resin cover 2 rolls of the 6 oz. cloth
Answer:	I don't know. You will need to contact Flexcoat to find out. Just looking at their website, I would say no. You will want a more open fiberglass mesh. But in the end, I do not know.
Question:	Can this product be used with Flexcoat foundation coating
Answer:	It is 10 yards or 30 feet by 50" wide.
Question:	Is the 10 yards the length (30') or is it the area of the cloth
Answer:	It means 6 oz per square yard. It is actually 5.6 oz per square yard, but the industry just calls it 6 oz.
Question:	What do the ounces mean
Answer:	It is powder bound.
