In Response To: Material: Fiberglass question (Jon Limebrook)

After building two S&G kayaks with 6 oz open weave, I built a Redfish Silver using Raka's 3.25 oz 60" wide satin cloth. I like this cloth a lot and will use it again. It is exceptionally tight and smooth, but being only 3.25 oz it's not any harder to manage than 6 oz open weave. It wets out fine with MAS. You can see the Silver at the link below.
