Do I need chopped strand mat for fiberglass repairs?

Chopped strand mat is frequently used in fiberglass repairs because it helps build thickness and conforms well to complex shapes. It works best with polyester and vinyl ester resins, which dissolve the binder in the mat during wet-out.

When using epoxy resin, chopped strand mat is generally avoided unless it is epoxy-compatible. In epoxy applications, woven or biaxial fiberglass fabrics are typically preferred.
