4" E-glass Biaxial (+/-45) Fiberglass cloth tape with 3/4 oz mat backing. Use biaxial fiberglass tape and cloth to add reinforcement to a fillet or a joint. It becomes part of the hull structure and is easily contourable. Butt join plywood sheets and many other uses. A roll is 4 inches wide by 90 yards.
2012-07-13WILL NETTLES asked: I need some 3-4 oz fiberglass strips to edge the hatches on a strip-wood kayak I'm making. I've bought fiberglass tape before that has a hard ridge on the edges. Will any of this tape work, or should I just get cloth and trim the edges? Thanks

2012-07-13RODGER HANKS: fiberglas tapr works much better than cutting strips due to the unraveling of the cut pieces. the tape has sewn edges and does not unravel...
2012-07-13EDWARD KREBS: I found the tape to be much easier to use than cut strips. With the cut strips things quickly turned into a mess of stands that came off and bunched up as I was working the material, while the biaxial strips stayed clean. I did not find the edges of the tape to be hard or behave any different than the middle, so my vote would be the tape.
2012-07-13LINDA PROCTOR: 3-4 oz fiberglass cloth is pretty thin, generally the thicker the cloth the more likely it is to leave an edge. But even with a thick cloth there is some practice involved oozing it around in the resin to make the edge as smooth as possible. It is messy and starts to cure faster than you think (get hard), go through the extra effort to practice on something else. Biaxial has a different weave and reacts differently to manipulation, the threads along the edges have a different trim. Experiment with regular and biaxial fiberglass weaves to see the nuances, but in short yes, biaxial will work, even if thicker, if you are patient.
2012-07-13GREGORY VODDE: I have used the Biaxil cloth tape with great sucess. I highly reccomend it for your needs. It is thick and structually strong. Use a quality resin and don't over activate it. Hope this helps
2012-07-14LAURANCE PENTEL: the bi-ax is stronger than straight cloth and if you get the tape w/ the matt attached it will adhere better than just cloth. the seamed edge of the tape will make a neater edge ( nice stright line) than cloth cut w/ sissors that will unravel some no matter how neat you try to be.

2012-07-14ANDREW RITCHIE: This is an excellent product... It consists of +/-45 biaxial cloth stitched to CSM. It is ideal for tabbing in bulkheads and very easy to work with compared to woven cloth. As far as I am concerned, there is no raised [woven] edge as with conventional tape.
However, this material is much heavier, total weight 25 oz/sq yd, than what you specified. It is more oriented to structural rather than finish work. So, it might not be the right choice for your application.
I like this Biax tape for boat fixes and upgrades. Tape is easier to work with than cloth (less cutting) for smaller repairs. It does a good job for reinforcing panels and tabbing bulkheads. I prefer epoxy for the strongest bonding.
