Hi,

Just wondering about the strength issue, I know that it is the cloth that gives the most srtuctural strength, but not sure how much of a good layer of epoxy is needed over it. I have put 4 coats of epoxy to fill the weave and have sanded it smooth. I was intending to coat it again at this point, but with it smooth now and if I coat it again I will have to sand it again, so I am wondering is is ok strength wise to stop with the 4 coats I have on now ?? Thanks in advance for any experienced advice.
