FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is chopped strand mat used for?

CSM is ideal for hand lay-up and open-mold applications. It’s used in boat building, mold making, and general fiberglass repair to create strong laminates, fill voids, and provide a smooth finish when layered with polyester resin.

How do I cut and shape chopped strand mat?

CSM can be easily cut with scissors or a utility knife. For complex curves or better blending of layers, it can be torn by hand to help it conform to the mold shape more easily.

Do I need to roll out air bubbles when using chopped strand mat?

Yes, it's important to use a fiberglass roller to eliminate air bubbles and ensure proper wet-out during lay-up. This improves the strength and finish of the final part.

Can chopped strand mat be layered with other materials?

Absolutely. It's commonly used between layers of fiberglass cloth or woven roving to add bulk and prevent print-through in gelcoats or top layers.

Can I use chopped strand mat with epoxy resin?

Most CSM is designed for polyester or vinyl ester resin because the binder in standard mat doesn’t dissolve in epoxy. However, epoxy-compatible chopped strand mat is available and should be used if you’re working with epoxy systems.

How much resin do I need for chopped strand mat?

On average, you’ll need about 1.2 to 1.5 times the weight of the mat in resin. For example, 1.5 oz CSM will require roughly 20–25 oz of resin per yard. Use our Epoxy Calculator to estimate your resin needs, adjusting for polyester if necessary.
