Bill, would the 3.2 oz. work for this? What did you use on your Disko Bay?

: Hi Steve,

: One of the problems of the lightweight layup specially using WRC is
: the skins are fairly easy to dent, the cedar under the light
: skin isn't really very strong in compression strength. I like to
: double the "football" shape in the center of the hull
: bottom and that would eliminate the denting caused by the
: rollers. That small piece of glass doesn't add a heck of alot of
: weight either. I have some experience with these rollers :)
