In Response To: Re: Material: Another Glass Layup Question (Jay Babina)

Jay: Do you use 4oz. S glass or regular? thanks

: I lke MAS too. I'm in the habit of buying RAKA, for the price and the results
: are excellent also.

: glass strategy? I use 4 oz. everywhere except on the deck top where I use 2
: oz. I double up with 2 oz on the bottom football and on the floor of the
: seating area. That's it. I don't pre-coat. I know I'm opening a can of
: worms here. I find no need for it. I get no bubbles and good wet out etc.

: I like Newfound glass because it's a tried and true performer. Wets out great
: and has an open weave to avoid air entrapment. I preheat my glassing area
: 3 hrs before glassing and then lower the temperature which is standard
: procedure for everyone. This avioids gas bubbles from being squeezed out
: of the wood under the glass. You don't want to heat the area as you work
: or just before you start.
