Default Re: fiberglass layup schedule

The Industry standard for fiberglass thickness on the transom of these old boats used to be 3/8 inch thick on the outside. You cant go wrong if you go 3/8 on the inside as well. Reinforce the corners. I agree with Bobby on substituting the 1808 biaxial for the woven roving. It will be easier to work with. The matt in 1808 is loosley stitched to the biaxial cloth to allow better penetration of epoxy as compared to 1708 were the matt is chemically bonded to the biaxial. I've used epoxy with both but the 1808 is the way to go. Also use the Raka 2/1 epoxy. Good luck
