I scored on a roll of this 3.2 oz triaxial weave E-glass used for glassing model airplanes, I have no idea what number it is. The stuff is satin-like, triaxial weave, easy to cut with scissors and a joy to glass with. What I do is a bit unconventional for small patch jobs (like the stern of my yak this very morning): I wiped on with gloved fingers a thin layer of epoxy, then laid the glass on top, then used a dull straight razor as a mini spat to draw out any excess after the glass wet-out in a few minutes (there will be areas that don't wet out and a simple series of affectionate pats with gloved fingers will usually do the trick, sometimes a dip into the epoxy and dab on the difficult area will always do the trick.
Now for big jobs, like both Rikki and my yaks' decks, wet-out as like 6 oz, but sometimes you'll have to go back and encourage gently and patiently any areas that are slow to wet out. The good thing of this stuff is it leaves a terrific glassed area, is suprisingly tough to damage...I suppose it's because of the tight weave...and requires a minimum of post-glass feathering and fill coating. I love the stuff!
Also, the epoxy I use is Polycon 700 with the Polycon 22 hardener, on a warm day the stuff is tremendously mobile and dribbles a lot. It also kicks pretty fast, so you get pretty quick glassing with it.
