Thanks for the advice all. I applied second layer before reading them...
Snipped the ends, again, and added 4" abrasion layers to cover mess.
I did lay it on bias but Dave G convinced me I didn't work the cloth properly. Next time!

Paul, I learned about the Thayercraft 3.2 here and it seems that two layers was the norm on the hull. Bill explained to me what "tack free" meant in reference to when to apply second layer. Thanks Bill...
I would definately consider one layer in future. I don't think weight is a prob on this boat cus I hooked my sander to a vac and removed at minimum a 16th. If I have as much fun on the inside of hull, I'll be glassing a paper thin core!

Thanks again, Jim
