Hey… I made a 12’6 from a Clark blank, glassed with double 4 oz on bottom and triple 4 on deck… was alright, but eventually started to fall apart. I stripped the glass, reshaped a svelt 12’2 and want to go more old school with a maybe 8 oz volan cloth with pigments. Any advise on cloth (weights and whether the Hexcel is best), pigments, and the right way to do a “cut lap”?? I’m not afraid of weight (no airs on the 12’2), just want durability and a classic look. any feedback would be great.
thanks, Ben
