Aloha everyone,
Because its what i have on hand, I’m considering glassing a couple of boards with combinations of 6 oz. E cloth and 4 oz. S cloth. Slight variations in weight don’t matter but strength and ease of glassing do. No big airbrushing or tinting gonna happen either…basically white boards with maybe a pin stripe and laminate. These are 6’ to 6’8" fishy shapes for beginners but big dudes.
So i’m thinking…
One layer 4 oz S cloth on the bottom
One layer 6 oz E cloth on the deck cut mid rail covered with a layer of the 4 oz. S.
I’ve glassed with both before without problems but never the combo.
I like the idea of the flatter weave on the outer layer…seems like it would hotcoat/sand easier
I’m nervous about what seems like the “tighter” weave covering the “looser” weave on the deck…worried it will be difficult to wet out/remove air bubbles.
These are Poly blanks/PU resin.
Hey, thanks for any feedback…i’m a cheapskate backyarder making boards for friends…
