6oz and 4oz is stronger than one 10oz. Plus it would be easier to lay up the 6oz and 4oz. I know that www.fiberglasssupply.com has volan cloth. Look in the phone book there are several surfboard materials suppliers in Florida. I myself would just use a standard finish unless the board only to be displayed.>>> Thanks deeb and Surfhungry for your help…does anyone know a good > supplier of Volan glass cloth???
