: I was just reviewing the Raka glass list. They offer a 5.5 oz glass which
: they say is lighter and stronger than their 6 oz glass and in their words
: "should be excellant for clear coating".

: They also carry a 3.25 oz tight-woven glass which in their words "is
: much stronger and requires less resin but are harder to wet out and form
: than normal open weave".

: Has anyone used either of these glass types. How do they wet out? How clear
: are they at the end of the day? Is the 3.25 oz significantly tougher to
: work with?

: grant
Here is a technique I have used on some cheap thick epxoy I bought. Wet out the glass and squegee down the glass but not all of the glass fibers are wet, and then take the heat gun to it to thin the epoxy and off gas the bubbles and clearing the glass. It seems to work better than my run on sentences. The epoxy is the same kick as the System Three that came with my Artic Tern kit, on the slow side. It doesn't seem to set any faster.
