: I use a lighter weave polyester all the time and I find it very
: difficult to get any epoxy into the fabric at all. I wonder what
: polyester you used and how much the fabric bulks. Of course the
: polyester I use is the first layer in the layup and not one in
: the middle or on top, shouldn't matter though.

Bill, I got it from Sweet: http://www.sweetcomposites.com/Polyester.html I remember it being less t-shirt like than dynel.

Are you using it in regular all glass constructions?
