: One tidbit to add: The tighter weave fabrics can be notoriously
: difficult to wet out clear. Doubly so if made with S glass.

The stuff I'm using recently from Thayercraft is very tight weave and wets out completely clear, so clear it's hard to tell it's there. It's also very inexpensive, which is why I tried it in the first place :)

S glass is notorious for not wetting out clear.
