is that the same stuff in the "Watersticks" paddles that looks like the weave in cheap salad bowls,,where the warp/weft "threads" are big flat ribbons? Is that preferable for hand layups than the conventional CF fabric? What you describe with the filling/fluffing is what happens with the 2" unidirectional tape,,it puffs up,,different than kevlar or dynel cloths, then when it's squeeged it puffs back up with air inbetween the fibers.
