: Any opinion on the 3.2 oz E glass versus their 3.16 oz S glass
: (Style 6116)?

I've not used that glass, but for one it's roughly twice the price. Their description online doesn't list the specs for that cloth so you'd need to call them, they are very helpful on the phone, and ask for a comparison from them.

With these very light glass weaves the fabric has to be very tightly woven to have much strength. The fairly conventional loose weave of most fiberglass taken to these weights of cloth would I'd think be fairly weak.
