Ed,
I have used the 7781 satin crowfoot weave with much success.
It has a much higher thread count which gives a smoother finish with less or
no pinholes while using less epoxy because of less space between the threads
to be filled. The weight is 8.9 ounces.
It also handles compound curves better than BID in my opinion.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the information, I thought I might have screwed up ordering
the Crowfoot weave, but sounds like it will be ideal. The weight I ordered
might be a bit on the light side at 3 3/4 oz, but I figure I can add another
layer (or two) if necessary.

Ed,
I used Crowfoot weave to make my oil cooler plenum and it worked great. Nice thing
was that one piece of cloth (if cut correctly) would wrap all the way around the plug leaving only one
seam.
