I know the fabric would get stiffer/ less drapable with every additional layer, harder to work with on curved surface. I was wondering, has anybody used a Tri/quad axail cloth before? Thought it might be an option for something like a pickup tonneau cover? What was your experience, Pros/Cons? The weaves look pretty trick/crazy, might be a nice option on style/looks? 1. http://www.directindustry.com/prod/formax/product-50648-546185.html[br] 2.http://www.multiaxialfabricselcom.com/en/Products/quadriaxial-fabrics-0o-45o-90o-45o.html[br] 3.http://www.rockwestcomposites.com/browse/raw-material/carbon-fiber-fabric - also has blue kevlar/carbon weaves

The ones I found were heavy, #1. 400gsm all the way upto 1600gsm! #2. offers quadaxial cloth 200-3600gsm! thats some thick stuff. #3. tri axial was 532gsm the other was
