Product Details
The standard 17 oz double Bias fiberglass cloth by Vectorply is an E-BX 1700-10 (+/-45deg) with a total weight of 17.92 oz/sq.yd (608 g/sq.yd). This high quality biaxial fiberglass cloth provides more strength than standard 12 oz double bias cloth, but with some added weight.
The cloth helps to bulk up on strength without requiring multiple layers, and it impregnates easily. The weave is retained by a thin polyester stitching which holds the perpendicular 45 deg tows in place without affecting structural integrity.
Experience fantastic results while used during wet lay-up, vacuum bagging, or infusion. The 50" wide cloth is sold by the yard or roll (125 yd).

well made biax - easy to work with
11 years ago
I purchased the 17 oz biax to use in the repair of the transom on our Bayliner 3270. The repair included plywood and epoxy, and in order to properly reinforce the new plywood it is necessary to use 45 degree biax when tabbing to the hull. I found the Vectorply to superior to other cloth I have used in the past, and found that it layed in the corners easily, absorbed the epoxy quickly, and was generally easy to work with. There are alot of loose threads if you have to cut strips as I did, but no worse than any other matting. Note that cutting this cloth will dull scissors very quickly - you'll need quality tools if you have to piece a lot of it out.

Q: I am looking to build a fiberglas inbound pool with plywood walls and concrete floor. the pool will be rectangular. basic book shape. !. how many layers of fiberglass will i need. 2. what type of resin would i use 3. what fiberglass will give me the best strength. thanks Matt
4 years ago1 Answer
A: Sorry, but I can't advise you on this type of constuction other than to say that Fiberglass will not be adding strength to the structure. That will depend on the frame. The fiberglass is just a waterproof barrier. You will probably want to use a 5:1 epoxy with several layers of fiberglass cloth.

Q: I'm rebuilding the transom on my 1975 SeaCraft SF20 center console. I removed the old transom from the outside and the old skin is unusable. Approximately how many layers and how much resin will I need to rebuild the outer skin? The original was approx 1/4"" thick. The transom is 80"" wide. Thanks
5 years ago1 Answer
A: Biaxial Fabric with mat backing. Fabric Weight = 24 oz. (per square yard). Single layer thickness = .042"" (average of multiple layers applied using hand layup method). To build up 1/4"" of biaxial cloth with mat backing, you would need approximately 6 layers. (.042"" x 6 = .252 or approximately 1/4""). One square yard of 17 oz. biaxial cloth needs 51 oz. (17 oz. x 3) of mixed epoxy for wet out.

Q: I am replacing the transom on a 17' Aquasport, I plan to bond ply to the inside of the transom which remains, then do lay ups of 17 oz followed by i2 oz and some lighter cloth to finish. the total would be 1/4 inch, and it will wrap around the top, which I'm thinking I would need to grind a taper into the new lay up and use a light cloth to cap the transom.,Any suggestions for lay up schedule, cloth weight & quantity, epoxy resin quantity?
7 years ago1 Answer
A: That sounds fine, you will need a gallon kit of resin. You can do all your layups at once. I would cover it after all the layers with peel-ply release fabric that will leave a smooth finish. Taper the existing edge areas so you can overlap the cloth to tab it in so when you fill and sand it will be even with the existing fiberglass.

Q: I was considering using three layers of 6 oz biaxial to wrap a new plywood core rudder for a 24' sailboat since I believed the 6 oz would be easier to work around the rounded edges of the 1 1/2"" thick rudder. Will I have trouble if go with 17 oz biaxial instead?
7 years ago1 Answer
A: The woven cloth will be much easier to wrap around a 1 1/2"" radius than the biaxial cloth. If you wet the biaxial out first it will make the bend easier.

Q: I am considering this cloth instead of the regular 6-7 oz. cloth for added strength on a 16' skiff am building. Would you ay this would be suitable? The boat is a Glen-L Center Console with raised bulwark. Thanks, Gary
10 years ago1 Answer
A: will certainly be stronger, issue I had with it was it took some effort to get all of it saturated when laying it out but worked well then covered it with a 4oz just to get a smoother finish (I used it to make a trailer lid)

Q: Is the $8.65 /yard for a running piece 50__quote__ wide and 36__quote__(1 yard) long or is it for a square yard? A 3' piece of 50__quote__ fabric is actually 1.31 square yards would then cost $11.33 per square yard. Could someone please clarify? Thanks

A: I'm not sure. I bought this small piece to do some small fiberglass patching. I suggest that you ask the Jamestown staff who would have a clerar answer for you. Dave.

Q: how easy is it to wet out this cloth with epoxy resin?
11 years ago1 Answer
A: It is a little trickier than the regular cloth for sure biggest thing i found was just had to go a little slower and once it started saturating it was easy but the initial __quote__wetting__quote__ was definetely different not harder. Flat area or gradual curve, okay- sharp curve or edge real pain. This was the first time, i had laid glass in over 20 yrs in October. It was for a lid for my trailer. My layup was 2 layers of 17 oz biaxail with about 80 % overlap (second piece much easier) then 2 layers 4oz cloth (super easy) with medium hardner epoxy
