: I agree with Bryan, 3.2 oz. tight weave glass really reduces the epoxy. My
: latest boat is 20'X 20" and I have used less than a gallon of epoxy.
: I used one layer of 3.2 oz. glass with only one fill coat needed.The
: inside hull and deck have only the wet out coat, but have unidirectional
: carbon cloth ribs, strategically placed. The single layer is just as clear
: as 4 or 6 oz. plain weave. To reduce weight even more, I opted for
: 5/32" hull strips and 1/8"deck strips. I love working with this
: glass, It drapes beautifully, wets easily, uses much less epoxy and sets
: up quicker, allowing for the single fill coat a few hours later. Multiple
: layers are probably best for rough use but I opted for a single layer to
: try and achive a sub 30# boat. I'll let you know how my grand experiment
: works out.

I'd like to hear about the results too, boat will be fairly fragile I'd bet. Sounds like a time for vacuum bagging (not going there again ).
