if it's fiberglass, then I don't see why not. You'll have to experiment with the thickness of it though...see how thick and strong a few layers. For the most part, fiberglass is fiberglass...the thickness and texture just varies how much you'll need and how easy it'll be to lay. It sounds like this is a heavy chop mat, in which case it won't be good for corners or tight places, but it'll build up faster on flatter and larger sections. If you can snap a pic, post it up here...it'll be a lot easier for someone to give you some more definite advice.
