In Response To: Material: Biaxial tapes and cloth (Etienne Muller)

: I was wondering if anyone has used this stuff?

: 10cm wide 300 Gram Bi-Axle Tape

: That is about 9oz

: for instance:

: Does it wet out ok?

: Is it possible to cut along it's length without fraying too much?

: Does it fray to billio?

: Any other experiences?

: Much appreciated

: Et

Biax tape is generally fairly easy to use, 9 ounce though with any glass and epoxy will take awile to wet thru and might not be really clear if that matters. Depends much on how it's woven and with what to how it'll fray, buy a small sample and experiment :)
