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.
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

2013-05-25ROBERT BARKER: Use fiberglass cloth. Ten ounce is plenty heavy if you are going to be stomping around on the deck. I assume this is going over plywood. You might also consider Dynel cloth. It soaks up a lot of epoxy but makes a nice non-skid surface.

2011-10-11TIM SMITH: Hi Ronald,
For a boat that size, six-ounce glass will almost certainly be enough; 10-oz cloth would likely add unnecessary weight. You'll want a gallon of resin, with hardener, to put on at least three coats: one to wet out the cloth, another to fill the weave, and a third for sanding.
You don't need a roller to apply cloth or glue, but you'll need plastic spreaders, and razor blades to trim your cloth.
The big issue with this job will be sanding. The best tip I can give you is: minimize it. Some will be necessary; how much will depend on the degree of perfection you pursue in your finish. You'll want a random-orbit sander, with dust collection, a good mask, and plenty of 80-grit paper.
You can cut down on sanding by using an epoxy that doesn't blush. The best trick of all, though, is to use cabinet scrapers instead of sandpaper whenever possible. When you're working with epoxy, a scraper is your best friend.
--Tim.
Comments about Jamestown Distributors Fiberglass Cloth - 10 Ounce:
Am building a wooden/plastic resin boat and will need about 60 sq yds to glass outside of the boat. It was suggested that because I was doing the work myself, to work with one sq yd pcs. This saves being wind blown, both in the cutting of the material and in taping onto the surface. Each sq yd comes in a Ziploc type bag and very easy to use. I lose some yardage because of overlapping but that's better than working with a large piece that I have to really hustle to fill with epoxy.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Fiberglass Cloth - 10 Ounce:
I had to replace the belly fuel tank of my boat and found the stringers and structure to be water damaged. I replaced the entire stringer structure and cockpit deck and used this type fiber glass cloth and 2 part expoxy for all wood covering and structure bonding, finished with Interlux bilge paint. New deck top will be gell coat spray on.
