Just so you know there are guys around here that use fiberglass, they just don't talk about it here. Using FG drywall tape can add a lot of unnecessary weight to the back. fabrics with a tighter weave are better and thinner is better. It seems that as this world became industrialized we fell in love with synthetics, but there are some natural materials like silk that are tougher and lighter than the synthetics. Not to mention it is easier to get it to lay smooth and applies with TB glues which are easier to clean up than FG resin. The best thing about synthetics like FG is that it made natural materials like silk cheaper. ;)
