Back in September 2006 we bought a 50 yard roll of 4 oz E glass on Ebay for $35 (buy-it-now) . This weight cloth is excellent for handling complex structures like the toe rails. Normally this type of glass runs for up to $5 a yard if it is perfect, but of course the Ebay roll is not. There are some minor flaws that very occasionally pop up across the width of the fabric, and there is a slightly elevated thread that courses the whole length of our roll.  Nonetheless, we've found the glass to be fine for making our own tapes and for covering smaller projects like a hatch.  In fact, if you were careful, it might even be possible to cover the topside of a micro-cruiser in the 6 oz weight cloth that is also sold inexpensively (Ebay item #170074575417). Lastly, we have no affiliation with the seller; though, we do have a webpage showing how we used the cloth.
