Looks like carbon fiber. How about a link to the ad?

Might be a better question of what KIND of fiberglass...

Looks too fine to be a woven roving, doesnt look like biax or triaxial cloth, and not CSM.

And from the 2 pix, I cant determine a weight or how its reinforced.

I am not a fiberglass expert though.

Are you in Oregon? Unless you're less then an hour away, ask the seller to send you a 6in X 6in sample and/or more specifics.

Just remember if glass rolls have ever gotten wet or dirty, which can be hard to determine in a huge roll, it often affects how it accepts resins.

Ok. Yes I am about 30 min away and can do local pick up. Is it noticable if it has been wet? Would this be a good deal if it is in good condition?
How do I tell what "kind" of fiberglass it is?

I'm not 100% certain but...I believe black glass fabric means it's fire proof

I suggest buying materials from a reputable facility vs a sketchy seller on evilbay
