: Thayercraft Style 6580 - 5.7oz Has anyone used this glass? I bought
: some to use on the inside of my Petrel and am getting close to
: doing the layup. It is a 72x72 S Glass, verry smooth simular to
: the 6116. I used two layers of 6116 on the outside of the hull,
: and one layer on the deck with good results. My concern is, is
: the smooth textured glass stronger, weaker, or the same? I was
: going with this glass beacuse it is S glass and takes less resin
: to fill the weave. Any thoughts?
The reason it's smooth is it's tight weave, has no bearing on the strength, just on the finish. It's way stronger than what's required.
