: As Roy says go with 3/16" strips, Use 3.25oz satin weave glass, and
: squeege, off ALL excess glass in lyour layup coat.
: Bob

Also, if you've used the 3.25oz cloth on the inside, you could get away with just one light fill coat and don't worry about a smooth finish inside. Rather than end-pours use lightweight wood blocks ( Cedar or Pine ).
