Does anyone know of any good basalt suppliers? Tried a few places and none of them have 19 oz or 22 oz.

Try these guys. they are in europe somewhere. sell by the meter though. they are out of 720g/m currently but have a 900g/m. thin out your cores a sniff, it will get the job done. they price is right! 720 is more.
back in 2011 i did a lot of searching, here is a fraction of the companies I found
swiss-composite.ch
prices from the supplier I can not find my mails from, I think this one was in east europe somewhere, will try to dig it out
this might be it, http://www.basaltex.com/
I use the triax from basaltex. It's bomber stuff. Buying a roll will set ya back a couple bucks, but last a hobby for a while. Shipping from Belgium to Canada was fierce$$$
Can't beat the torsional rigidity, of that balanced weave though.
Hello Dtrain
Can you talk me through the applications, lay up and weights of basalt that you use
my current lay ups use Biax GF and uni CF. Be interested to know how you use basalt and why
Thanks
Gilo
can someone give in a nutshell quick comparison basalt vs FG vs CF it would save some of us tons of time researching
