Has anyone tried this stuff? It seems fairly well priced and is supposedly similar to s-2 glass. Does it wet out well when working by hand? I'm in NZ and there's a local supplier selling it here: http://www.fibreglassshop.co.nz/collections/cloths-tapes-and-rovings/products/100g-basalt-plain-fibre?variant=975184969 .
