: Stitch & Glue or Strip?

: Most kits furnish 4 oz for strippers some heaver up� to 6. 3.2 oz
: is a bit light for a stripper unless you� plan on never
: scrapping it on anything or doubling up on sections.
: On a S & G, technically, once it's taped, you could just coat
: it with epoxy or glass it too.

Stripper, and I intend to add a second layer of glass along the keel line extending 12" to either side and at the stem and stern for added strength. Please refer to my original post regarding the significant price difference between the two"brands" of glass.
Thank you
Mark
