are you looking for weave, or a sheet that has already been laid up? How thick?

I could lay you up a piece, but it would not be vaccum bagged. In other words it would be smooth on one side, and rough on the other. What are you using it for?

You definately need a piece that is vaccum bagged. What I am able to do would just be for gauge panels and things of that nature. I would not put it anywhere for strength/support.

not to highjack, but how much would charge for somethig 2ft by 2ft. I did some fiberglass work before, but i'm too lazy to play with it anymore.
