Mutual Industries Fiberglass Repair Tape - 8 Inch

Features:

• Extremely useful for finishing work, strengthening stress points, reinforcing cabin edges, gunwales, keels, rudders, oars, etc.
• Finished salvaged edge prevents unraveling
• Designed for taping seams and edges of noise dampening panels
• Mutual Industries removes the lubricating sizing applied to fiberglass yarns so that they can become compatible with most thermosetting resins
• This removal process is done by baking the cloth and removing the sizes through burn-off
• Many types of chemical finishes are applied by Mutual after heat treatment
• Chemicals used by Mutual in processing fiberglass fabrics are designed to be compatible with thermosetting resins
• This serves to vastly improve resin bonding by chemical bridging
• Finishing and processing operations, including the application and control of chemicals, are conducted under strict quality control standards
• Fiberglass boat, tooling and structural reinforcement tapes are used primarily for "wet lay-up" applications
• To optimize the tape's wettability and cure-time characteristics, Mutual fiberglass tapes are manufactured with a fairly open weave
• To insure maximum compatibility between glass and resin, Mutual uses advanced state-of-the art heat cleaning and finishing equipment
