In Response To: fiberglass cloth, epoxy or polyester ??? (Grant Goltz)

Some cloth is made with a finer thread. I actually prefer the thicker thread. The thinner thread or silk type forms a wool rather than threads when cut. However, glass is not manufactured for campatability with either epoxy or polyester. It works with either. Don't worrty about it. West used to mention in their catalog that it was (special). No such animal.
