: Any idea of the thickness? 1/4"?

Bryan,

Btw, last year I made a test piece with one layer of 4 oz. cloth layed on a sheet of mylar (window cover) and it's completely waterproof though not rigid, feels more like painted fabric like a SOF. The mylar btw is a excellent release for epoxy, peels cleanly and allows you to get a very smooth backside to the cloth. Could be easily used for a flexible bulkhead. Takes something like 24 ounces of cloth/mat to get it fairly rigid.
