In Response To: Re: Material: applying a lightweight layup (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

4oz s-glass wets-out easily and is abrasion resistant. I haven't used satin weave. For my next overbuilt boat (for instruction I sit in the kayak on a dock a lot). I wanted to put multiple layers without bubbles developing between the weave,,true confessions I haven't glassed a kayak in 1/2yr (I hang my head in shame), with my faulty memory is it easier to lay two,three layers at once (sounds awfully messy for squeegeeing) or let each layer partially cure, which is what I've done when laying two layers.

You know at the next Rendevous or similar gathering I bet you could really get people excited with contest for bringing the strongest, lightest test panels and breaking them. Okay I do spend too much time alone,,, but destructive testing is fun.
