Lookin good! Far as the layers or glass, I would use another layer of 1708 if you got it to build thickness due to you will get much more strength out of it. I sometimes use matt to build up thickness but only on non-structural items due to it being cheaper than the high dollar 1708. The matt will add much more weight and lot less strength to the lay up per same thickness. The resin to cloth ratio is better with the 1708 by having more cloth and stronger cloth at that. The matt dose well up aginst the ply wood due to it holds a lot of resin for a good bond plus it fills any voids to the wood but that is the only place it is needed.
