: ...Is S-glass inherently

: Mark,

: As Rob pointed out, plain weave S-glass can show a transparent
: weave pattern even though it is completely wetout. The pattern
: is more noticed by some than by others. In my experience, the
: more open the weave the more noticeable the pattern is. All
: other things equal, there is no difference in the difficulty of
: wetout between S-glass and E-glass. However, the weave style can
: have a strong affect on it. Ted Henry has described his
: experience with wetting out 6 oz 8-harness satin weave
: (http://www.metakrome.com/kayak/).

Thanks. I've visited Ted's site -
That's where I got the idea of using 6oz S-glass (from his fiberglass ding test) but hesitated when I read his experience using it.
