Hi Duncan

"This material exists as 'biaxial' (i.e.
bias-cut) finishing tape for fabric covered a/c, and is made of
polyester/Ceconite/Stits/Polyfiber, much the same as peel ply. Because it
is bias cut is will go around compound curves. The Polyfiber
product may have been sized with silicone for the purpose of weaving
the basic fabric, so good luck with that! "

I have a large
roll of brazier fabric, think it is polyester and if cut on bias follows
curves pretty well. I tried it as peel ply, seemed to work untilI
tried to do a subsequent layup. It was removable easy enough, harder than
stuff from ACS though.Must be coated with something, perhaps
silicone? Anyway if it wasn't coatedit would be OK. Just what is
available from ACSwith 1 over and 2 under weave I think would be
worth trying. Need to know that there is no coating though. Since strands
are small I don't think there would be a problem getting it off.
