it's 160gr aprox. But is bad quality, not very good for laminate fuselage or light cowls, the tissue is very open.

Sure you can, but you need to know how to work with fiber glass, you will need the mold and glue, search youtube on how work with fiber glass.

Yes man you can used this medium weight fiber glass cloth to built an off-road car chassis,but you have to used several layers of fiberglass and this depends upon the size of your car

Its possible, but carbon fibre plate would be better in terms of strength , longetivity and ease of making

Y otros materiales?,por ejemplo fibra de carbono,kevlar.

Why when lower weights? Less than 120gsm .
What about other materials?, For example carbon fiber, Kevlar.

So it's a little more than half a yard in Imperial measurements. Decent price but still too heavy for My needs.

Glass fibre needs a special coating for epoxy to stick, polyester resin is better

Very wrong Ergocentric, epoxy does not neeed a special coating to work on glass. Polyester resin is the cheap stuff and if an orginal lamination was done with polyester it takes a very good adhesive and a roughing up to get it to stick mostly because most polyester resins have a wax added to help them cure.

So actually I can use the 30 minute Epoxy Glue www.link from Hobbycity, can't I?

MarkD

Yes you can. For reinforcing it should be fine, it the epoxy is too viscous thin it with a small amount of denatured or 90% isopropyl alcohol

I have used thick & thin CA to re-enforce balsa (elevators, ailerons, and bell-cranks) with great success.

Epoxy is fine for smaller stuff. But it is much more expensive to do larger things

How many gr/m2 are this fiber glass?

Bring this caind of materials, its a very good idea. I hope in future, HK, has more type of fiber glass clothes and more of other tipes, like carbon, keblar or hibrid carbon-keblar clothes.

its a 1/2 m2 with 150g ... can be 200-250g/m2
120 g would be better

It would be good info to include the weight. Even better if HK can include other weight GF clothe, other materials (CF, Kevlar) are also welcome,

This cloth weighs in at 135g, which would make it 270g/m2 or about 8.8oz/yard. Edges were quite frayed.

This fiber cloth is quite thick and would best be used for areas that requires more reinforcement, eg firewall and bottom of fuse. I would not use it on wings.
