Ron,

Others will correct me if I am wrong but I'm fairly sure BID (Bidirectional) 
refers only to the strands within the cloth running at right angles to each 
other.  Therefore, peel ply would be bidirectional as pretty well all 
clothing materials are to my knowledge.

If it is the type of weave you are referring to, then the BID cloth we use 
has a twill weave which gives the appearance of having diagonal ribs and is 
also what gives it the unique properties of being able to conform to almost 
any shape.

As a point of interest, I cut my peel ply on the bias as I find this tends 
to allow it to better fit shapes but not as good as the BID glass cloth of 
course.

Cheers
Kingsley
