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.

If this is chopped strand sheet to be used with polyester: do not use it.

First: it can only be used with polyester because the strands are coated and
"glued" together with some subtance to improve bonding to polyester but it
prevents bonding with epoxy.

Second: you cannot glue this stranded sheet to wood with polyester. You can
peel it off very easily. And the whole idea of stitch and glue it that you
glue the wood together with glass tape and epoxy.
