Default RE: FIBERGLASS CLOTH SUBSTITUTE

Has anyone ever heard of using a polyster fabric/cloth in place of fiberglass cloth when covering
sheeted areas like wings and fuselages.
The glass cloth that is usually used to cover balsa structures is 3/4 oz. cloth. It is light and does not hold a lot of resin. Any fabric will be heavier and hold a lot of resin.

It is a weight issue.
