| No - glass over wood and rocks is not good with rocks etc - DYNEL is much much much stronger. Buy half a metres and do a test panel with Glass V Dynel. The diffference is apparent just by seeing the difference in the cloth beofire applying epoxy.  |

| I have to agree here, Rob (nice name, by the way)...dynel is a FAR cry from glass. It doesn't give you the reinforcing strength, or stiffness, of fiberglass, and will require a little more care in applying, but it was purpose-made to resist abrasion (i.e. accidental encounters with rocks/shells) Here's a URL to a site that has a decent writeup on their imitation Dynel cloth, I don't make any recommendations for who to buy from, but he info is useful  http://www.jamestowndistributors.com...ne=1&page=GRID |
