Did you see the stuff I had???? Very broad flat weave, with some sort of anti fray coating.
Whatever you do make sure you don't get that!!!!!!
Apparently it's meant for resin infusion, and it's extremely hard to wet out.

Ring around for quotes eg. FGI, daystar, nupol. I bought a fair bit of the stuff last year and prices ranged from $40/metre to $80/metre for the same 200g/m2 plain weave.

how much do you need and what weight, eg 98gram to 200 and what are you doing with it and what sort of weave do you need , you can only buy it buy the metre so make sure you get the rite weight and weave

You could also try:

www.ironbarkcomposites.com.au/

Based in torquay, vic.

from the US:

www.fibreglast.com/
(plenty of good info here)

or

www.fiberglasssupply.com/Product_Catalog/product_catalog.html
(make sure you use US postal service from the states -IMHO cheaper)

With all the companies be sure to ask what is the MOQ (minimum order quantity) - some only sell rolls of the stuff.

thanks for the responses guys. Just after a bit of 200g plain weave, looks like ironbark comp will be the go. They have it at a pretty good price
