Questions & Answers
It measures 50" by 108" and has a total area of 37 square feet. 5 SF. To get to 36 square feet, we used 4' x 9' panels. As a result, the 2" X 108" equals 1. A difference of 5 SF is significant. Your meticulous attention to detail is greatly appreciated.
It was my first time working with fiberglass, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. It has a nice, thick consistency to it. It worked perfectly on my 17"x36" boat hatch.
Epoxy is a good match for this material. Yes, it is possible. Foil molds are something I've heard of but haven't tried. On the mold, I assume you'll need to use a release. You must conduct your own investigation. The Chopped strand mat is very good at conforming to curves. It is very simple to work on flat surfaces. It is preferable to tear the mat rather than cut it with scissors. In the future, I'd like to add videos. Best of luck to you!
As long as you have the outermost layers of a higher density "finishing" fiber, I believe this would be a good way to build up support layers. I don't think it'd be as sturdy, long-lasting, or attractive on its own.

It was a perfect 9 out of 10!.
Good quality fiberglass chop mat, quick shipping from seller, and consistent mat thickness. This mat is folded, not rolled, for those who are interested. br>The fibers have slightly pulled at the creases, but as long as you don't cut along the crease, the mat will stay together fine; if you do cut along the fold crease, the mat will fall apart while handling it.
You get a lot of strength from just one layer because it's about 3x thicker than the stuff at Home Depot. I completed my project and still had a lot of fiberglass left over, so I think this was a fantastic deal. br>br>A thank you note from the seller was included in my package, which made me happy.
There were a few air bubbles, but that was no problem. The section measured 7 feet by 5 feet and had a few inches of overlap on the back, front, and both sides. It took two gallons of resin to complete the project.
I used it to reinforce and strengthen a trunk floor and floor pans. To add to the strength, I used multiple layers. Because of its thickness, you'll need a lot of resin, as it will soak it up like a sponge.
Although the picture appears to be of excellent quality, it is not. A roll of fiberglass was not what I was expecting. Instead, the cloth was folded into a 12-inch-by-12-inch bag. I would have preferred the roll, but with some difficulty, I managed to make this work.
It's also simple to tear. I bumped into it a couple of times, but it didn't irritate me. The packaging is compact to save space, but one minor quibble is that the sheets are folded in such a way that you must open the entire sheet to get to a single ply. I soaked the resin without issue and it dried perfectly; however, this is my first time doing resin work, so I can't comment on the quality of this glass in comparison to others.
With epoxy, it easily wets out. After being folded, it lays out without any damage. I believe it's because of the powder binder that it sheds a lot of glass. I'd prefer a thicker glass. If it was a heavier weight, that would be ideal.
