: Hi Bill found a local supplier, thanks for the UL aircraft tip...
: Now, do you glass the inside of the hull in some areas? or just
: go with 6oz on the outside? I was considering at least glassing
: the inside bottom of the hull - possibly with kevlar in the high
: wear areas
: Ulrik
Btw, the idea is to keep the glass/Dacron thin, this is a very flexible material and if you add extra cloth you create a hard spot that can cause a stress riser at the join between the stiffer fabric and the flexible skin which can cause a failure. Flexing is good.
You can though add a strip of extra material, glass etc., at the stems and keel since there is a hard spot there anyway, wood under the fabric.
