: Seems that most folks are cutting bias tape from cloth. Nick's Material List
: for the Guillemot calls for 82 feet of 1 inch tape and 41 feet of 2 inch
: tape.

: Two questions....what angle is the tape cut from the cloth? 45?
: How much 38in cloth should I buy to cut the tape I'll need.

: Anyone have any reasons to avoid glass from Raka?

Raka has fine glass. I have used their 3.75 oz plain and 6 oz plain. I just ordered more of the same for 2 kayaks I'm nearing the glassing stage on.
