: 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.
