It can be used alone or in conjunction with fiberglass fabrics, or woven roving, in larger fabrications.Fabricators generally tear apart Chopped Strand Mat, rather than cut it. This maintains the length of fibers along the torn edge, which create stronger bonds with subsequent layers.Chopped Strand Mat contains a binder which holds strands together, but prevents proper bonding with any epoxy resins.
