. On
: my first Outer Island, I used one layer of 4 OZ. S glass on the exterior
: which produced a light boat. It dents very easy and I won't go that route
: again.

I did the same with a N.B. and used a light pre-sealing coat,,could that also be a factor in reduced ding resistance besides a lighter layer of glass, the wood is less hard with a light sealing coat?
