Glass lay up for
By:Brad
Date: 10/30/2001, 7:05 pm

I am about to put a 200 gsm (6 oz) layer inside and out on my Gt Auk Double.
If weight were no object and I wanted a stronger layup, what would be the next reinforcement to use? I don't need any sacrificial layers on the outside for the type of padling I do. Would Kevlar on the inside be of any great advantage?
Any advice would be appreciated. PS the strips are white pine about 5mm (3/16") thick after sanding.

Add glass inside first, then outside.
