When the job is a strip, buy tape. Slitting 50 in cloth into bands leaves frayed edges that unravel as you wet them out; this 8.7 oz E-glass tape has woven edges that lie flat on a seam and hold together after you cut it.

What it is for

Seams and chines
Keel bands and repair bands
Binding plywood edges and tabbing

At 8.7 oz/yd² and 0.0107 in per ply it is the heavy cloth in the tape rack, so each ply builds more than 4 oz or 6 oz cloth would, and it wets out fairly transparent under epoxy. It runs about 1:1 resin to glass by weight, roughly 1 oz of resin per square foot. Where a tab needs structural bulk and a mat backer, step up to 1708 biaxial tape.

Widths and lengths

1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 in wide, by the yard or on a 50 yard roll, for epoxy, polyester or vinyl ester. Wider tape is in fiberglass cloth tape, fiberglass cloth vs tape covers when each one makes sense, and the fiberglass cloth weight chart compares it with the other weights.

Specifications

Ideal for:

Seams, chines, keel bands, plywood edges and repair bands.

What To Expect When You Order Fabric Rolls

Can epoxy resin be used with fiberglass cloth?

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.

Can fiberglass cloth be used on wood or metal?

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.

What does the weight (oz) of fiberglass cloth mean?

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.

How do I cut fiberglass cloth?

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.

What is fiberglass cloth used for?

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.

What’s the difference between fiberglass cloth and chopped mat?

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.
