: 9 oz on the outside.

: So your saying just overlap shorter pieces. I had Nicks picture of rolling 10
: foot rolls down the seam from his book stuck in my head.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? Everybody's wetting out and rolling these long strips down the inner seam with a stick or something. I tried that, got all bunged up, pulled it out, and put my seam tapes in via 3' strips of tape. Much much easier. Do I have a weaker seam? If the longitudinal fibers don't add strength, why not use smaller pieces?
