On thing that I like about biax tape, or woven tape cut so that the yarn is
+- 45 degrees, is that it follows curves much better. Consider something
like a chine seam where it makes the turn to the bow. With biax (or the
woven cut as stated), you generally don't have to cut darts in the glass to
make it lay flat around the corners. AND you get more yarn across the seam.

Hope someone finds this interesting or useful,

Another option you might want to explore it using bias cut tape that you
make yourself. Bias cutting results in twice as many fibers crossing the
joint.


Until Brian came right out and said it, I was ignoring this salient X2
fact.

Thanks!
