: Hi Robert,
: I wouldn't be happy using glass cloth that had been folded. Folding
: causes the fibres to crack to a degree and it holds any fold
: creases too well.

Oh yeah btw, it's alot easier to roll the glass on the tube if you first tape it onto the tube, regular masking tape works well for this. This allows for more tension as you roll it which will also help to get rid of the creases.
