What is the best way to layer fiber glass if you are using different weights. Such as a 4x6 deck. Would you put the 4 first with the 6 on top or the other way around? How about when you get into three layers or using patches? i.e. 6x4x6 or a tail patch… does the patch get put down first? Thanks, Mike

4 oz. first then 6 oz, I put tail patches on top. Aloha, Kokua Is there any particular reason for going 4oz first, 6oz second? Thanks, Graham
You want the stronger glass (6oz) to wrap around the rail for more tubelar strength. The first layer of glass doesn’t wrap the rail.Aloha, Kokua
