Yeah, but where's the fun in that....

You coild orient the plain weave on the bias and use the tow on the 0. Woild be like triaxial 45/45 0. Hmm, Well, it's too narrow to lay at an angle for any reasonable length... What I suppose I could do is use a couple layers and heavily skew the fabric so one layer would act as -45/0 and the next...

I also got a bunch of carbon tow from a guy at work, but I think it's probably about useless...

It's actually a plain weave, probably in the range of 8 OZ glass. If nothing else, I imagine it would be nice and clear... It's ~.011" thick~16tpi something maybe like this the 7-1/2Oz fabris(Part # - 243, 244) at fiberglast . I figure it should be reasonably comparable if I build it to an equi...

I got a hundred yards or so of biax glass ~4-8" wide for free, so I'm wondering how much worse it tends to behave than triax? I'm in the process of building a pair of big mountain skis, not decided on dimensions yet but something moderately wide... I have a yard of triax left over that I figure...
