I have been surfing websites pertaining to fiberglassing. I see S-glass, biaxial cloth, and E-glass. I thought that if you arranged the fibers in a 45/45 direction as opposed to regular cloth, then you got E-glass.
Then I ran into a site that sold biaxial glass seperatly than the E-glass. Now I am really confused, please help.
If that is not enough, I ran into a place selling chopped mat with a statement "do not use with epoxy resin". Now I must ask if there is a difference using epoxy resin as opposed to fiberglass resin (as far as the cloth is concerned).
