I'm trying to get the best deal on fiberglass cloth (in the 6 oz. range) for several projects in which I plan to use West Systems epoxy. It seems there are three brands of cloth to choose from: West Systems Episize, Evercoat, and Composites One.
It appears that the best deal on West Systems Episize is at pbsboatstore.com, where at 10 yard roll of 60 inch cloth is $144.95. http://www.pbsboatstore.com/episize-glass-fabric.htm
When it comes to the Evercoat brand, Jamestown Distributors sells a 3 yard pack of 38 inch cloth for $25.11. This beats the West Marine price which is $14.99 for just 1 yard.

The Composites One brand, which in the boating world is sold by Defender, appears to be the most affordable. Unlike the other brands, at 6 oz, this brand is sold in a 7.5 oz size. Defender sells a 58 inch wide size for $9.99 yard.

Does anyone have any strong opinions about any of these brands. I want to get the best deal, but I also want a quality product.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Roscoe
