Ted:

Great job on the testing. Your timing's great as I'm about to order for my Guillemot.

Do you think only one layer of the 6oz s-glass is enough? What gets compromised with only one layer? Longevity? I guess I really don't know enough about the s-glass (or the other types of glass for that matter). Which resin do you think you'll use on your boat with the s-glass? I did a S&G with 6oz (standard stuff, I think) and had no problems with it at all (MAS). How much harder is the s-glass to work with?

Thanks for the research,

Rob
ps how did you do those knee hooks? Cool.
