Cloth weight

I just ran out of the perfect weight cloth to apply over the rivet line on our cowl. This cloth looks like silk (to me) . Problem is I don't recall what weight it was to order more. Worked in glass for 33 years but we use much heavier weave and I have had this light stuff for years. Thinking on purchasing from ACS but don't know which one to order?
Thanks
 
3/4 oz is what I used.

3/4 oz is what I used as a final for buildups. I used it back in RC days, and on my cowl and canopy intersection. It used to be called scrim cloth. There is also 3/4 oz chopped mat that some of the auto body guys like a lot, but it doesn’t conform in three dimensions very well. Either are relatively cheap and likely to be locally available. I hate cutting the stuff.
