In Response To: Material: applying a lightweight layup (Dean Trexel)

: deck: 2@3.2 oz satin glass / .125" cedar or redwood / 1@3,2oz satin
: glass

: add a third layer of 3.2oz satin glass to the deck where your knees push when
: you brace

: hull: 5.0 or 4.8oz satin kevlar / .125" cedar, redwood, or Okoumee
: plywood strips / 4@3.2 oz satin glass

Dean, if you're spending all that money for fancy kevlar cloth consider 4oz s-glass, it'll be lot's easier to apply and repair, I'm guessing the amount of resin to adequately wet-out the 5oz kevlar might wet-out a larger weight s-glass.
