No, the description specifies fiberglass cloth for cars only.

Description from the creator

I'm just showing one way of a quick Diy repair without using a welder and patch metal this is a fairly easy process with little experience and tools needed, there are much better ways of doing this (welding on a jobber panel or patching with metal) but this is just a very cheep way no welding or experience in metal work needed and if the vehicle is rust proofed after the repairs and every season afterwards it will last for many years.
