Fiberglass Surfacing Veil Width 10 Mil

Fiberglass Surfacing Veil — 10-mil • 50″ Width

This fiberglass surfacing veil is a very light, non-woven E-glass sheet designed to be placed between gelcoat (or paint system) and the first reinforcing layer. The ultra-conformable veil creates a resin-rich, print-free surface that hides the pattern of underlying fabrics, improves finish quality, and enhances corrosion and moisture resistance. With a nominal 10-mil thickness, it drapes easily over tight radii and compound curves, making it ideal for cosmetic skins and protective barrier layers in marine, automotive, industrial and architectural composites.

Key Features

• Print-blocking barrier: Minimizes telegraphing of woven/stitched reinforcement patterns into gelcoat.
• Smoother cosmetic finish: Produces a resin-rich top layer that sands and top-coats uniformly.
• Conformable non-woven veil: Excellent drape for tight curves, corners and complex shapes.
• Improved durability: Helps reduce porosity and pin-holes; enhances chemical and moisture resistance.
• Versatile compatibility: Suitable for polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resin systems.

Typical Applications

• Barrier layer under gelcoat on hulls, decks, fairings and body panels.
• Cosmetic skins over core seams and woven reinforcements to reduce print-through.
• Corrosion-resistant surface veil in tanks, ducts, and industrial laminates.
• Finish layer on composite molds and tooling where a smoother face is required.

Specifications

• Fiber: E-Glass
• Form: Non-woven surfacing veil
• Nominal Thickness: 10 mil (0.010 in ≈ 0.25 mm)
• Standard Width: 50″ (127 cm)
• Recommended Processes: Hand lay-up, vacuum-assist, spray-up (as a surface barrier)

Processing Notes

• Place the veil directly over cured or tacky gelcoat (or prime/paint layer) before laying structural fabrics.
• Wet out thoroughly to create a resin-rich surface; consolidate gently to avoid fiber distortion.
• Feather edges or overlap slightly for seamless transitions and improved cosmetics.
• Compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins.

Ordering

• Standard width: 50″ (127 cm)
• Sold by: Linear yard — 1 yard = 36″ length × full width
• Continuous lengths: Multiple yards typically ship as a single continuous roll whenever possible.

Color Disclaimer: Due to individual monitor settings, lighting, and calibration, actual fabric appearance may vary from what is shown online.

We sell this fabric by the linear yard. You will receive a continuous piece of fabric at the width listed.

For example, if the fabric is 50" wide, a quantity of 1 (linear yard) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 36" long. A quantity of 5 (linear yards) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 180" long.
