I know that there are alot of products out there like "fish cloth" and what not and I guess I am just curious to see what people use. I myself take a stroll 4 units down into Fabric Land and find a good fleece that will stretch good.

What does everyone else use???

I use different products for different applactions. I normally use fleece in areas like the sides of the trunk or other ares where you dont need a really good multi stretch material. But lately for complex areas I've been using a spandex type material. I'm not really sure what it's called, but it seems to work really well. And it's dirt cheap!

The only product from the "fish man" line that I've used is the stranded fiberglass. Looks like tooth paste! But it is pretty nice material to work with.

I love the fleece becaue it will soak up a tonne of resin which will add to the strength before you even beef it up from inside.

^ heh, I asked about using polyester before and I think dukk told me it wouldnt work.. lol..

I did end up trying some polyester cloth once to see how it worked and it seemed to be about the same as cotton cloth of the same weight.. (although its 2x as stretchy which Iam sure can be usefull)

But you say fleece, not cloth... ?? Ill have to give that a try..

I've used grille cloth, pantyhose (great for strange looks from the cashier buying it at Wal-Mart), and fleece... So far fleece works the best for me.
