In Response To: 4 oz S-glass weave (peter)

I just put 4 oz. S-glass/MAS on the hull of my North Bay...no problems wetting out. I did use a tip from Rob Macks and did a thin epoxy sealer coat on the wood a day prior to putting on the glass/epoxy. The glass went on easily and wet out quite well.

My other observation is that MAS "slow" is slooooow (at least compared to West Systems that I used before)...I added a couple of pumps of "fast" hardner and things seemed to go a bit faster and still didn't have any blush.
