Given up roll ranting for building?
I found it difficult to laminate more than one layer of 6 oz S-glass at a time using West 105/207 because it was a bit too thick at the temp I was working and didn't saturate the cloth as easily as a single layer.
As far as adding additional layers- West tech guys say the best time is as soon as the epoxy becomes tacky on the previous layer. You get the maximum chemical bond and don't have to worry about blush.
