Glass characteristics - Different Manufact?

Is there a difference between manufacturers regarding fiberglass cloth? For a give weight, is one softer, or more pliant or flexible than another? Easier to lap?

You bet, I have had cloth from Clark-Schweible that was next to impossible to lap, but the laminations were really strong

Would you mind giving a recommendation as to what and where to buy? thx

In your area, Fiberglass Fl. Has Aerialite in 4 and 6 oz. that’s nice. JPS in 4 oz and 6 oz are nice too. Both are usually easy to work with and clean. Hexcel is OK too, but usually not quite as clean. Historically they have occasional burns and other flaws from their looms. These issues come and go and all the fabric companies have issues at times.

Howzit Jim, I used to use Clark-Schweible 4oz and JPS 6oz and like you said the C-S was strong but a little difficult to use. But I guess Hexel bought C-S and it’s no longer available. It’s JPS all the way now. Aloha, Kokua

Thanks.
