: Hi Kirk,

: Yep, had to go look, can never remember fabric's by their numbers
: :)

: 1678 is the one I use.

: Sometime this spring I'll be ordering a hundred yard roll, nice to
: have the extra around. Just with the classes I use 10 or so
: yards a year, so I go thru a 50 yard roll kinda quick.

: The downside to this fabric is it's narrow, I think it's 38"
: wide vs. the 60" rolls I'm used to, so it doesn't go quite
: as far, but on kayaks it's less of a problem than it would be on
: larger boats.

Hey Bill how clear does this cloth wet out? I will be using silvertip. I am still building the deck but am starting to think about the layup on the guillemot.
I am thinking about one layer on the hull, second on the football, one on inside of hull, second on the floor area, two layers on the inside of deck, and one on the outside of deck. Anyone know if the fifty yard roll is enough or should I get the hundred yarder?

Also it is fairly easy to figure out how much weight is going into the boat with the cloth comparing six oz. single layer thoughout(my first thought) with the 3.2 as described above, but how much epoxy weight should one expect to save? I am thinking big since faster wetout and fewer fill coats( how many to expect by the way?)

What the hay while we're at it ... how much epoxy should I get using the above schedule?

Thanks
Dave
