: I'm about to join the deck and hull and was wondering if it is okay to just
: use one layer of 2 inch 6oz glass tape instead of one 2 inch and one 1
: inch layer.
: Thanks
One layer 6oz inside and out is enough. It has been enough for my polo boat which has to cope with massive hits from tackling and after nine years there is only minor delamination.
The Vaclav masking tape idea works beautifully. I glass onto the masking tape and after 10 or twelve hours while the glass will still dent with a finger nail just start at an end undoing the tape and folding the edge with the glass. A sharp blade helps give a clean straight edge which will feather perfectly using a scraper. The scraper cuts easily through resin and cloth before sand paper can be used without clogging and will clean up any dribbles of epoxy too
