    Fiberglass cloth - FREE to good home

    I have 4 square yards of 6 oz. fiberglass cloth as a remnant from a bolt. My next project is rather big and I would use more than this amount for the project. Although I could use it, I will just start fresh with a new roll. So I thought I would just put this up or "grabs." More than enough to use for a couple nice-sized 4" or even a 6"or 7.5" project depending on fin size.

    This cloth has a very tight weave, so it takes a bit work to get it wetted out. Saying that I have used the cloth on a number of projects including this latest one. Another point of note is that this is a wide role, 64", so it can be used on lengthy boosters, i.e., 60" without having to use two pieces.

    The cloth is free, but I would like you to cover postage. The shipping weight is 2 lbs. Looks like the most economical way to ship is if I can fit it into a small Priority Mail box (should be able to). So if you could cover that cost by sending $5.50 to my Paypal, it is yours.

    Note: My preference is that this to go to one of our younger TRF members that is "in need" versus a more mature member that has means to purchase at will.

    Nice of you. I just bought 20 yards, so I don't qualify as the in need, younger member. I'm sure it will find a good home

    Come to find out, the first respondent was not of the younger demographic. He still wants the cloth and is in need, but I would like to hold this open until midnight tomorrow, (Sunday, July 27th) for anyone still in school (undergrad or below would count). If no takers by that time, then it goes to the first respondent.

    I'd love to take some. My 6oz supply is down to my last yard or so. However, I'm not in immediate need of it. Who asked for it?
