As some of you are probably too familiar with by now, the manual for my hybrid night heron did not arrive, and CLC sent another one out. It has arrived and it's for the shearwater series not the night heron. CLC will print the right one and send it out on Monday. In the meantime though, I'll be down near a large marine supply store later today and would save a lot of gas, money, and time if I could pick up the fiberglass and epoxy while I'm down there. The man I spoke with at CLC recommended 18 yards of 4oz 50" cloth, and 1.5 gallons of resin and 3/4 gallon of hardener. I retrospectively realize that 18 yards wouldn't be enough to cut 4 18' lengths linearly. Is 18 yards enough cutting diagonally sufficient to glass both sides of the boat with a double layer on the bottom of the hull?

I'm going to go digging through the archives to see what there is to be said about what type of fiberglass and how much of it is necessary. A single layer of 6 oz? A layer of 4 oz. with a smaller layer of 4oz on just the bottom of the hull? Just thought I'd get the plea out there in case I can't find an answer to my question.

Also, if anyone happens to know, how does Nick recommend holding the temporary full forms in place when stitching the hull? The manual for the Shearwaters recommends wiring in the bulkheads....
