Length: 1 Yard

Style 120 E-glass in a 4-harness satin weave, 3.16 oz per square yard, 38 in wide. This is the lightest cloth we stock and it is a finishing fabric, not a structural one. The satin weave drapes into curves that a plain weave fights, and at 0.0046 in per ply it disappears under epoxy instead of printing through your finish.

  • Where it goes: surface reinforcement, sheathing wood, skinning a part, final layer over a repair, mold making.
  • Wets out clear. Over light wood under epoxy it goes nearly invisible with two or three fill coats.
  • Drape: 4-harness satin conforms over compound curves better than plain weave at the same weight.
  • Resin ratio: roughly 1:1 resin to glass by weight.
  • Resin compatibility: epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester.

Handle it carefully when dry. A satin weave shifts if you drag it, and a distorted weave shows in a clear-coated finish.

Ideal for:

Surface reinforcement, waterproofing, mold making, and lightweight composite structures.

Size Options:

Available in various widths to suit your project needs.

Weight:

3oz/sqft

Compatible with:

Epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins for a flawless bond.

What To Expect When You Order Fabric Rolls

3oz Fiberglass Cloth Full Roll

Yes, epoxy resin is ideal for wetting out fiberglass cloth and other reinforcements like carbon fiber and Kevlar. It saturates the fabric well and cures into a strong, durable laminate.

Yes. With the right resin, fiberglass cloth bonds to wood, metal, foam, and cured fiberglass. Use epoxy for wood and metal, since it grips those substrates far better than polyester. Prep matters more than the cloth: sand to clean, bare material, remove all dust and oil, and wet out the surface before laying the cloth down.

The weight refers to ounces per square yard. Lighter cloth (e.g., 4oz) is more flexible and used for fine finishing; heavier cloth (e.g., 10oz) provides more strength and bulk.

Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter on a clean surface. To reduce fraying, run masking tape along the cut line and cut through the middle of the tape, and handle cut edges gently. Keep the cloth dry before layup, since moisture on the glass weakens the resin bond.

Fiberglass cloth is used to reinforce composite materials in applications like boat building, surfboard repairs, auto bodywork, and structural laminates. It’s combined with resin to form a strong, lightweight composite.

Fiberglass cloth is woven for strength in specific directions, while chopped strand mat is made of randomly oriented fibers and is better for building bulk.
