Default Re: fiberglass layup schedule

Will-

While roven woven may work in this instance, I would use the following layup schedule because it offers (in my opinion) better adhesion.

2 layers of 1.5 oz mat
1 layer of 1.5inch Coosa
1 layer of 1.5 oz mat
1 layer of 1808 biaxial
1 layer of 1.5 oz mat
1 layer of 1808 biaxial
1 layer of 1.5 oz mat ( this layer is optional....it seals off the last layer of 1808 and prevents any strands from fraying, etc.)

The important thing is to make sure that each layer of laminate is progressively longer and taller and overlaps the previous piece. This will assure that each laminate is bonded to the hull versus having all layers bonded to the first laminate.

Hope this makes sense.
