Glass Fabrics

Episize™ Glass Fabrics are ideal for building composite laminates and repairing fibreglass structures. They may also be used to provide an abrasion-resistant covering for wood structures. When thoroughly wetted with WEST SYSTEM epoxy, the lighter fabrics become transparent, allowing a clear, natural wood finish.

Designed for:

  • Durability
  • Abrasion Resistance
  • Impact Resistance
  • Skinning

Fibreglass Facts

Laminating

The term “laminating” refers to the process of bonding numbers of relatively thin layers, like plywood, veneers, fabrics, or core material to create a composite. A composite may be any number of layers of the same material or combinations of different materials. Methods of epoxy application and clamping will differ depending on what you are laminating.

Fibreglass Repairs

Recently we revised our most popular instruction manual, Fibreglass Boat Repair & Maintenance, bringing it up to date and expanding it to 146 pages. It contains the very latest fibreglass repair techniques and features complete sections devoted to repairing cracks, holes, damaged skins, cores, keels, and rudders, installing hardware, installing teak veneer decks, gelcoat blister repair and prevention, and final fairing and finishing.
