Source for fiberglass cloth

(1/3) > >>

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.
