: Anymore I consider 4 ounce with doubling in high stress areas,
: heavy weight construction. Now I normally use the tight weave
: 3.2 ounce used the same way and like it alot and while it's
: somewhat fragile it's also very light. I've given up on 6 ounce,
: takes too much resin to fill the weave, easier to double the 3.2
: ounce and have a nearly perfect surface without any fill coats.

: Bill H.

I need to try the 3.2. The weight of the hull feels like it doubled with one layer of 6 oz over the couple layers of 4 oz.
That and shmutz on the inside of the hull..really added too much weight. should have staid with DAP.

At least I'm gaining more knowledge on how to build light.
