:
: I just added two layers of 6 oz...for a total of
: three on the outside and two on the inside of my kayak...

I have both 4 and 6 ounce cloth.
If I use two layers of different weights, is it better to put the heavier over the lighter or the lighter over the heavier for strength?
Seems like the heavier on the outside would provide better gouge resistance even tho lighter weave outside would be easier to get a smooth fill/finish.
Thanks again.
Randy
