Fiberglass cloth is a woven material available in various sizes to allow custom strength, thickness, and weight in projects. Fiberglass cloth provides great strength and durability when layered with a resin to form a hardened composite. This six ounce cloth is 3.9 mils thick.
Fiberglass cloth has many advantages:
Fiberglass cloth has greater tensile strength than steel wire of the same diameter.
Excellent fire and heat resistance
Thermal conductivity (making it useful for insulation applications) and chemical resistance properties similar to glass
Durable and economical

2013-06-14JERRY A. OLSON: No, sorry
2013-06-14JOE THOMPSON: No. I do not have a spec sheet. I have used the cloth to glass a strip planked rowing wherry.
2013-06-14ROGER WEEKS: Don't know what the customer is searching for. I don't know if there is a MSDS sheet for fiberglass cloth as there is for epoxy.

2012-10-16ALLEN DEMING: Jess,
I build canoes, kayaks and rowing boats. 6oz fiberglass is my first choice. You may want to use multiple layers especially in the areas were you expect abrasion. I use West System 105 Resin and 207 Hardener because it is formulated for use with strip-built boats. I hope this helps.

2012-09-04A shopper asked: Fiberglassing the bottom of a wood rowboat to make leakproof. Do I need to apply more than one thickness of cloth? Do I lay down resin, then cloth and another coat of resin? How many finish coats of resin over the cloth?
+Expand Answers
2012-09-05RICHARD SIMONDS: Put down one layer only (6 oz0. and enough resin in 2 coats to fill up the weave in the cloth.
2012-09-06THAD SPERRY: One layer of cloth is sufficient. I just lay out the cloth on the bare wood then use a roller to apply the resin making sure to saturate the cloth and roll out any air bubbles that develop. The number of coats of resin is variable but should be just enough to fill the fiberglass weave to leave a smooth transparent surface. An extra layer of fiberglass or another abrasion resistant cloth on the underside of the bow makes that wear point sturdier and last longer when rowed up onto the shoreline.
2012-09-08DONALD SPINELLI: One thickness of 6 oz. cloth will do. Coat wood with epoxy. Lay cloth on wet epoxy. Coat with more epoxy. There are many books and articles that cover this in more detail. System 3 and West both make good booklets explaining the procedure.
2012-05-30A shopper asked: How do you ship your 6 ounce 38" and 50" fiberglass cloth? Does it come rolled on a tube or is it folded?

2012-05-10BRAYDEN KOTTKE asked: Hey there, Im building a custom center console in my 97 tahoe and was wondering if six ounce would be strong enough to do this and what kind of resin I should use? thanks much
2012-04-23JAMES CARTER asked: Hello, I want to build subwoofer box for my car in a cheapest way. What kind of cloth and resin will you recommend? Thank you.
+Expand Answers
2012-04-23TED WARREN: Use 10z style 7500 as it's an open weave and very conformable with a reasonable build up rate. Use any polyester resin from Jamestown.
2012-04-24James Carter: Thank you.
2012-04-23MARK GINSBERG: Can not anser this, sorry.
2012-04-24James Carter: No problems, thanks.
2012-04-23GUY JOHNSON: I suggest you use Chipboard or MDF.
2012-04-24James Carter: I wish. I can't use any of the trunk space on my 2011 Suburban, b.c it's a working vehicle. The only option for me is a little compartment in the trunk, on the left hand side. I'm thinking to cut insides of this compartment out, make a mold of all space inside the wheel arch cover and put box there with 10" shallow mount sub. I will make a mold with foam spray, then trim the edges and make a box from fiberglass cloth end epoxy. Thats why I ask for advice I never build anything with fiberglass yet, but thanks anyway.
2012-04-24DAVID WILSON: i'd use the six ounce cloth, you don't need the thicker stuff. i use system 3 epoxy resin for my boat projects, but since you don't need extreme durability, you could use polyester resin, if you like. either should give you plenty of strength.
2012-04-24James Carter: Thank you. I was looking at 6 oz cloth. Can I put 3 layers of cloth at the same time, one on top of next one?
2012-04-24DAVID WILSON: no! put one layer at a time. you'll need to cut it to fit, so overlap the seams. then sand it, and give it another coat or 2 of resin. but i can't see how you'd need that much cloth. generally you would use it for strength, or to be watertight. with one layer, over wood, an extra layer or two of just resin, sanded in between layers, you'll have a strong, tight, paintable box.
2012-04-24James Carter: I will not going to paint the box, it will be hidden(stealth) behind side panel in the trunk. I was asking about 3 layers b.c I want the box to be strong is possible. With 50" cloth, I don't need to overlap the fabric, it will be 1 pc for 1 layer.
2012-04-25RICHARD SIMONDS: i WOULD USE the fibreglass cloth only as a reiforcer to the base material of your speaker box.
2012-04-25James Carter: Fiberglass will be the box, b.c it's not enough space down there for MDF box. I hope 3 layers will be enough, then I put fatmat on the inside of the box.
2012-03-23A shopper asked: I am building a 10' plywood mini speed boat. Is 6 oz going to be strong enough? I live on Lake Erie and will have pounding waves to deal with at times. Also looking for a good resin. Any suggestions?
+Expand Answers
2012-03-23MICHAEL BACCELLIERI: As far as your 6oz glass question; It will work fine, it is the application that is important. One, buy enough to cut 4" stripps to apply 2) of those 4" spripps to all the seams inside and out. The put two layers of 6oz glass to the outside of the complete hull.
As far as epoxy; I use MAS, because it has no ambian blush that needs to be washed off before sanding.
I hope this helps,
Michael

2012-03-26MICHAEL MCGARTY: It's a trade off of weight vs. strength. You need to balance what the design requires against overbuilding.
6 oz. is pretty easy to sand through, I mostly use it to finish off surfaces where I want more protection than just a coat of epoxy but it's not required for the strength of the boat.
Sometimes I run glass tape up the keel and then put a lighter cloth over. I do this to provede protection where the boat will be pulled up on the hard.
Good luck.
2012-03-26yekrats25 y: Can I go with thicker glass to eliminate having to glass it twice? I would rather over build than have it leak. I have taken it down to the lake and had over 500 lbs in it and still could have added another 500 lbs. So weight is not an issue.
2012-04-04WILLIAM SCHELP: Used this cloth to patch a hole in a 20 year old kevlar/fiberglass canoe. It was strong enough to paddle down the Missouri River (340 miles) between Kansas City and St. Louis. Much more slow pace than you though. For what it's worth...hope this helps.
2012-03-20RAY MITCHELL asked: Is the fiberglass shipped in rolls?

2012-03-20Ryan L: Yes, you can order this by the roll. Smaller pack quantities are gently folded and shipped in a box.
2012-03-17A shopper asked: I am repairing my Searay cockpit deck that had 1/2 plywood with glass on both sides. Is 6 oz a good choice to use on the new plywwod with WEST epoxy? Is one layer sufficient?

This product was used to make fiberglass repairs to a boat restoration product. It's great for small area filling repairs to small reconstruction repairs. The ends fray a bunch when you cut it, but it also causes the ends to bond better when wetting to a finished surface. Make sure you sand/clean area you are bonding to for a better bond.

Light matt for lighter duty. Can be used as an alternate layer. best where glass must be formed in tight corners.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Fiberglass Cloth - 6 Ounce:
Would have been excellent had the 25 yard roll not arrived bent. Could have been prevented by rolling it around a thin cardboard tube for shipping. This left a creased area which shows the white of the cloth in my clear finished hull where the epoxy did not fully saturate the cloth. I will never buy another roll unless it is wrapped around a tube. Otherwise the product is exactly as described and perfect for clear finished cedar boatbuilding.
