Looked it up and had somemore questions:

how is it weighted is 6oz, 6oz for a yard?

trying to get the glass from my girlfriends dad who is a boat builder. they aparently have different terms for it.

er is right…what I meant to say was it is the weight of a square yard of the material(4oz-6oz ect…) laminated with resin…but even thats wrong…I guess it pays to read your posts…before you post…doh…

er. it’s actually the weight per square yard, and it’s often rounded to a whole number, e.g. “4 ounce glass” may weigh 3.83 ounces per square yard of fabric.

There’s a lot of different kinds of fiberglass, but you can find out a lot on the internet to help you get the right kind. Try, http://www.bgf.com and look under Marine/Recreational for surfboard fabrics

or type “fiberglass” into Google and start reading…
