Deluxe Materials Fibreglass Cloth 1.5oz 1m² BD13
The Deluxe Materials Fibreglass Cloth BD13 is a high-quality, medium-weight woven fiberglass material engineered specifically for structural reinforcement in model aircraft and marine modeling applications. With its fine, consistent weave and unique fabric finish, this 1.5oz cloth delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance while draping easily over complex curves and contours for professional laminating results.
Key Features
-
Medium-Weight Construction: At 1.5 ounces per square yard (approximately 48–50 grams per square meter), this cloth provides robust structural reinforcement with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio
-
Convenient Coverage: Each pack contains 1 square meter (approximately 10.76 square feet) of cloth – ideal for wing skinning, fuselage reinforcement, and structural repairs
-
Unique Fabric Finish: Specially treated surface ensures better "wetting out" when used with laminating resins, resulting in stronger bonds and reduced air pockets
-
Fine, Consistent Weave: Provides excellent structural strength while draping easily over complex curves and contours without bridging or wrinkling
-
Enhanced Durability: Increases toughness, crack resistance, and structural integrity of balsa wood, foam, and composite materials
-
Versatile Resin Compatibility: Optimized for use with epoxy resins, polyester resins, and water-based finishing systems

Recommended Use
This fiberglass cloth is ideal for strengthening wings, stabilizing wooden surfaces, and repairing composite hulls or fuselages. It is highly effective for "skinning" balsa or foam surfaces when used with laminating resins. For best results, use with Deluxe Materials Eze-Kote or Aeropoxy laminating resins. The cloth can also be applied using water-based finishing systems like Eze Dope for versatile application options.
Ideal Applications
- Wing skinning and stabilizer reinforcement for R/C aircraft models
- Structural reinforcement of balsa, foam, and composite components
- Repair of damaged model aircraft fuselages and marine hulls
- Laminating over curved surfaces and complex geometries
- Building medium-strength composite structures
- Marine modeling applications requiring water resistance
- General-purpose reinforcement where moderate to high strength is required
Resin Compatibility
-
Epoxy Resins: Deluxe Materials Aeropoxy (BD1), Eze-Kote, and other epoxy laminating systems
-
Polyester Resins: Compatible with standard polyester laminating resins
-
Water-Based Systems: Eze Dope and similar water-based finishing systems
