this is a little pertinent to cars as some glass their own parts.

Im new to fiberglassing, and not sure which glass to use. the project is for a 120qt cooler. the glass will be wrapping foam board insulation. (I know it needs to be sealed first if I use poly resin vs epoxy)
my question is, what cloth do i want to use? it needs to be very sturdy as coolers take abuse. What would I want to build it out of?
??? 1 layer roving woven +4oz chopped mat
??? 4 layers of 4oz chopped
??? 1 layer roving + layer of 4 oz cloth + layer of 3 oz chopped mat

these are just ideas, I just dont have any experience to know what will be the best route. :ah:
