: What is plainweave glass cloth? Thanks, Tom

cloth that is the regular over ubnder weave. it is ussually reativly loose weave and easy to wet out. it isn't as strong as the satin weave cloth with multiple harness weave. the multi harness means that it goes under 3 then over 3 and so on... it provides more striaght fibers thus it is stronger. the strongest is the axial cloths which are flat layers of glass that all go the same direction.

if that made any sense
