: If weight were indeed no object and you wanted a stronger layup, you could
: add all the glass you want. But weight is an important factor in a kayak,
: so is cost. So we compromise. And the devil is in the details. This is a
: discussion that has gone on and could again go on for a VERY long time. To
: get your feet at least near the ground, have a look at Nick's page on
: material testing:

: postings.

: Then keep in mind that Kevlar is difficult, though not impossible to work
: with. Because you can't sand it (it just fuzzes up), the normal proceedure
: is to put it down first, very carefully, without overlapping the joints
: and then put down a layer of glass over the Kevlar while the resin is
: still wet and then work it all out very carefully. Remember that Kevlar is
: opaque and the wood will not show through. If you are not that worried
: about weight however, I certainly would not bother with Kevlar, rather,
: I'd just add another layer of 6 oz cloth.

: That's just my two cents though.

Thanks
Would you add another layer of 6 oz to the inside, outside or both?
