HELP Rail epoxy lamination overlap

General Discussion
1

Hi all, need help with lamination procedure,.,

Have a 6.9 funboard without stringer in 30kg/m3 Polystyrene foam.

Epoxy lamination with 24 oz bottom and 26 oz top

For superior life-time, and a surfable flex… HOW should I laminate the rails?

Should i consider the 2 top cloths overlapping bottom only?

OR the 2 bottom cloths overlapping the top?

OR have the 4 cloths overlap? 2top over bottom, then 2 bottom over top?

Something else? 3-1?

I have once read here, that for the best flex, one should make the bottom first, and have the top cloths overlap the bottom…

Help is much appreciated here…

W.O.

i would glass the bottom first and lap both layers of glass to the deck

then on the deck cut the first layer inside your lap line and then the second layer will be lapped underneath
