Evercoat Fiberglass Tape, Cloth & Mat
Evercoat Fiberglass Tape, Cloth & Mat: Structural Reinforcement from a Trusted Name
Evercoat has been synonymous with fiberglass repair since the company's earliest days. Founded in 1953, Evercoat — originally known as Fibre Glass-Evercoat — got its start producing fiberglass resin material to recover and repair wooden boats, making composite reinforcement materials a core part of its DNA from day one. Today, as part of ITW (Illinois Tool Works), Evercoat is recognized as a leading manufacturer of repair materials for both the automotive aftermarket and recreational marine industries worldwide.
When it comes to fiberglass tape, cloth, and mat, Evercoat brings that same foundational expertise to every roll and sheet. These materials serve as the structural backbone of any quality fiberglass repair — whether you're reinforcing a cracked hull, rebuilding a rotted rocker panel, or laminating a complex compound curve. Understanding which form to reach for is just as important as the resin you pair it with.
The Evercoat Fiberglass Lineup: Tape, Cloth & Mat Explained
Evercoat offers distinct products within this category, each engineered for specific repair scenarios:
- Fiberglass Cloth Tape: Evercoat's woven cloth tape features a non-raveling edge and is designed for glassing seams, chines, keels, bulkheads, and the inside and outside joints of rectangular shapes. Available in a 6 oz. woven E-glass construction, it is compatible with polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins, giving technicians maximum flexibility in their repair systems.
- HI-BOND® Fiberglass Mat: Evercoat's HI-BOND line includes a non-woven, chopped-strand mat that delivers bulk when repairing holes and badly damaged areas, and is excellent for moulding or repairing complex shapes. The chopped-strand construction allows the mat to conform readily to contours as resin is applied.
- FG Mat (Packaged): Evercoat's packaged fiberglass mat is 100% fiberglass in a non-woven state, best used for high build-up repairs of holes and damaged areas, and will conform to any shape — ideal for spot repairs on automotive body panels or marine hulls.
- Sea-Glass Fiberglass Cloth: Marketed under Evercoat's Sea-Glass line, this cloth is described as featuring a patented weave that becomes transparent once saturated with resin, making it a favorite for cosmetically sensitive repairs where aesthetics matter alongside structural integrity.
