In Response To: Strip: T-Bolt lay up for foot baces (Lennie Hawkins)

: I will be installing my foot braces with T-bolts glassed onto the inside of
: the hull. Will 1 layer of 6oz under the bolt and 1 on top plus a layer of
: 9oz 2inch tape over the bolt for the length of the brace be sufficient? Or
: over kill?

: Thanks,
: Lennie

The instructions that came with my bolts called for bedding the bolts with thickend epoxy and then cover with two 3 inch strips of 6oz glass. I did this and they seem to be solid but only time and use will tell for sure.
