It's a fiberglass cloth painted with epoxy that the cloth is semi-soluble in.
So it essentially dissolves the cloth. This lets you put the cloth down in place first, without needing to apply the epoxy down to the wood first and try to lay the fiberglass on top of it. Air bubbles and rippling for sure over a rounded surface like that.
Instead you just apply to the outside liberally, the clothe lets the epoxy through and soak into the wood ~1.5mm or so, while adding far more strength and sealing to the final coating than just a layer of epoxy would provide. Way way way more.

Something like this, there are all sorts of shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and epoxies you can pair with different clothes to get thicker/thinner coats, opaqueness, toughness, etc. It makes patching jobs so much easier.
