: Are you using RAKA 3.5 oz cloth all around....or are you adding the football

I'm using a single layer of the 3.25oz (It's not 3.5oz as I said before) cloth all around. The hull is S&G 3mm Okoume, the deck is cedar strip.

As for the black strip, I used epoxy mixed with graphite. It was a very messy job and required a lot of hand sanding.
