Source for fiberglass cloth
Paul Smith:
Today I found that both Sig and The Prop Shop are out of lightweight fiberglass cloth.
I forgot what the lightest weight is. Is it 3/4 ounce? Or maybe lighter?
Can somebody suggest a current source?
bill bischoff:
Horizonhobby.com has fiberglass cloth in several weights. The brand is "Deluxe Materials". Mecoa.com sells K&B fiberglass cloth. Both of these are traditional hobby vendors.
Dennis Toth:
Paul,
You can get small quantity of 3/4 oz fiberglass from K&B at http://www.superpoxy.com/.
Best, DennisT
bill bischoff:
That's actually the same as Mecoa. ;)
Paul Smith:
Thank you for the advice. I ordered 3/4 ounce cloth from MECOA at $8.99 per yard.
This is a small fraction of what Sig charged for the product when they last offered it. Hobbyzone did not have what I need.
I use a lot of this cloth in conjunction with 30-minute epoxy for center sections, rudder fins, and repair work.
I do not like messing with polyester resin but prefer epoxy thinned with acetone.
