In Response To: Strip: Hatch lip. (Dave McKinney)

: Hello All,
: I am about to make the hatch lip for my Guilly, and I read in Nick's book to
: use six layers of 6 oz. cloth. Does he mean six pieces to make a lip or a
: lip that is six layers thick? That seems like an awfully thick lip,
: because i the book the lip in the picture looks as if it is only using 6
: pieces, and I'm trying to watch the weight of the boat. Whats the minimum
: I can get away with?
: Thanks in advance,
: Dave

I believe it is 6 layers... which for me worked out to be around 1.5mm. Going from memory.
