I used RAKA 4 oz glass with Matrix epoxy on my Tred Avon. I have not tried thier epoxy but I will. The glass was a mixed blessing; I like the weight, but the weave is so tight it is hard to get the bubbles out. It has to have at least two filler coats for good bonding. Not that there is anything wrong with the RAKA glass, but I'll go back to 6oz in the future; it's easier to work.
