Default Stitch and Glue

You'd be fine with that, but why? The glass tape would go on lighter and
smoother IMHO. I'm betting you already own the stuff ...but for $30 in
tape, you'd have far more than you need and it'd be easier to finish nicely.
How heavy is your chopped-strand sheet (oz/yd)?

Is it sound to use chop strand sheet cut to 10cm wide to use instead of
fibreglass tape in a 12 ft Dinghy - will be powered by 2.5 hp outboard or
electric trolling motor, i have used this on a canoe which is holding up
well after 2 years of use???
i was planning to cover the whole interior with the stuff anyway.
