Alright, My Gasser is almost to the point of having something resembling a hull. I have a build thread going, but I thought I'd ask this here for future reference. Main question-----

What size cloth should be used with what size boat and how many layers?

In my case, What/how much should I use to cover a 45in wood boat?

Thanks!

Honestly, I wouldn't cover a wood boat with glass, just resin or epoxy unless you feel the hull sheeting is too thin.

But I would reinforce some seams with glass on the inside of the hull, such as the bottom and side seams.

And if you spring a leak at a seam after the boat is complete, you can use glass to reinforce or repair on the outside.

when i glassed my flat bottom i just used some auto motive cloth mat i bought like 10 years earlier for a junk car when i was just out of high school never used it till i made my boat lol may not have needed it but i recycled it non the less just remember the thicker the mat the more coats it will take to make it apear invisible/ less rough

Reviving an old thread......What weight fibercloth would be best to put on an outer hull seam? Such as the outer edge going around the boat? Would 3/4 oz be small enough to not be noticeable?
