The thing about chop mat is that it falls apart relatively easily when it's wet. I like that because it let's me get into tight areas and shop the fibers they way I want them to lay. Cloth stays together because it's woven and is good for flatter areas without sudden angles, nooks or crannies.

I'm sooooo confused... haha. ok, so for the BASE of a fiberglass enclosure, you put the tape down, then resin the area, then put down some fiberglass cloth/mat and then resin over that... once that is dry, you pull it out.. then make your rings, etc.. then wrap a shirt around it... then I thought you were supposed to put like 5 more layers of cloth all over it... I was thinkin, holy crap... this is gonna cost a fortune for all that fiberglass cloth to cover the whole thing like 7 times... haha so, I really dont need to cover the TOP part with cloth/mat ? just the base?
