Low weight glass fiber prepreg

Hello, 

I am looking for 6-10 oz/200g/m2 glass fiber prepreg (woven and UD) but all the ones I've found online are much higher in weight. Is prepreg not available in such low weight? I would be very grateful if any one can point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Aisha

To be fair not that much more.
Put a vernier on a piece of uncurred umaterial an that's the thickness you will get cured,be it 15psi or 90 
Just loose a little bit on a ply stack with multiple layers as one layer fits into another
Don't really need 90psi,but your 100% it's in the corners
Even 30psi will give you 99% success 

So, crucial for very high end stuff but not for the rest of us.
