I bought a 50 + sq yds of 10 oz cloth on ebay, for under $2.00 a square, shipped. It was advertised as blemed but you could hardly tell it. There is an occasional blip in the weave. This stuff costs $7/yd plus shipping anywhere else.

Needless to say, it was a great deal and I am tickled pink. Don't know if your dealing with the same vendor.

Re: Fiberglass

I have the same story as boom. I bought a roll of the "blemished" cloth on ebay for cheap, and I'm quite happy with the quality. New cloth would be blemished more if I unrolled it to measure out a piece.

I've also bought a box of the roving scraps that one guy advertises... basically it's 25 pounds of 18-24oz roving in pieces averaging 2ft by 3ft... should work well for what I need, and cost was maybe $35 I think.
