Thanks for the replies Sean, Scott and Paul.

I'm leaning towards (2) layers of 3.2oz inside the hull for deflection strength or 1 layer of carbon Kevlar. Or I could do 1 layer of 6 oz.

Any thoughts on which one would use the least amount of epoxy?

Also, can I mix Mas & Raka into the same container? I'm running low on Mas and have a 1.5 gallon kit of Raka waiting in the wings. Since they are both 2:1 I would think they would be compatible.

I really enjoyed working with the 3.2 oz. satin weave....it's nice to wet out and hasn't taken that many fill coats. I'm on my second fill coat tonight. Should I do 3 or 4 even though the weave is almost gone?

Thanks for all the help...
