The one's I've found are kind of different. They are less wooly, its very easy to get holes between the braids and cutting it is pure nightmare.
is ordinary fiberglass fabric not what should be used?

OneMoreCast, that's not what Solidoodle uses...
As for regular fiberglass mat, I've bought some, but it is not as "wooly" as the one Solidoodle uses, there are holes because of this.
And regular fiberglass fabric has some shininess to it, while Solidoodle's doesn't.

Still doesnt look what Solidoodle uses. Which looks like the ones I linked, just less shiny and slim.
