Yeah everyone thinks that if you have chopped strand mat that it's from a chopper gun. Untrue. I've got an old roll of chopped strand mat in my shop, it was (is?) the standard way to laminate glass hulls, a layer of woven material followed by mat then another layer of woven etc. The mat helps to avoid air bubbles between layers of woven materials that you'd normally get with wet lay up. This isn't a bad way to build a boat if you're not using a more advanced method. Those methods take time and cost money, depends on the mark up you have in the finished product if you can afford the more advanced methods or not. Not every boat is cost no object.
