In case anyone is interested, I did a bit more digging and found that fiberglass mat is more commonly used to form on the inside of molds.

Fiberglass mat takes more resin per yard to wet-out. A 1.5 ounce mat I found needs 24 ounces per yard.

The yard of mat is $2.55. 24 ounces of resin is $5.76, so the total for matt is about $9 per yard, or approximately the same as cloth.

How many layers of mat would be required compared to cloth I'm not sure.

Still, not worth it to me when 1/2" PVCX is just over $20 per yard.
