In Response To: Material: My fiberglass test results *LINK* (Ted Henry)

I am paying a professional builder to build a kayak for my wife. I e-mailed him this thread and asked him how his layup would perform.

Today I got in the mail a 3' long 5/16" steel rod, a 4' long piece of steel tubing, a cinder block, a bunch of test pieces, and directions. The builder wants me to put a test piece on top of the cinder block, set the tubing on top of the test piece, and drop the rod through the tubing.

Then he wants mee to tell him which test piece he should use for the kayak.

What should I look for?
