In Response To: Material: glassing schedule (Rob P)

I thought tighter weave/smoothness was the value-add of the 5oz cloth. You could do a very light/fairly strong layup using just 5oz cloth. I really like the smoothness of the 3.2oz satin weave (two layers) I used on my last boat. I wouldn't hesitate to use the 5oz on a smaller 17' boat. You've seen Ted Henry's fiberglass test results right? See http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/index.cgi/noframes/read/82692
