E-GLASS CLOTH

E-glass cloth is woven from fine yarns of twist and ply construction with the actual glass being a lime-alumina borosilicate glass of low alkali content. This glass composition offers ample flexural and tensile strengths, high chemical stability and high moisture resistance. The cloth weave allows it to conform to curved surfaces with minimum fitting. E-glass cloth if categorized by weight per square yard and is sold by the running foot. An E-glass cloth tape with finished edges is also available and is sold by bulk by the 125 yard roll as well as by the yard. This cloth is used for the building of cedar strip canoes. It's also used in the repair of fibreglass hulls.

CAUTION

Contact with fibrous glass may cause temporary irritation. Recommend long sleeved, loose fitting clothing when handling the material. Gloves and eye protection may be appropriate in certain operation. Wash with soap and warm water after handling. A disposable mask designed for nuisance-type dust is advisable where high dust levels may be encountered. 

When sanding fibreglass that has been applied using epoxy resin, if the resin has been curing less than 7 days then a charcoal filter mask with dust filters should be used. After epoxy resin has cured for 8 days the dust is inert and a regular dust mask can be used.
