: Rob,
: How would the poly cloth go over bare wood? On my current Walrus, I have been
: considering putting one layer of poly on the bottom of the boat for
: abrasion, and then 4oz fiberglass over that. Would it be better to put the
: fiberglass on first?

Yes, put the glass on first. As I stated in another post in this thread, the polypro cloth will absorb a lot of resin so only apply it to the lowest edge of the keel and the stem edges up to the waterline.
