Mike, so far it looks like 3 for,2 against, of those that have used it. My glass fetish has been 4oz S-glass from JR.Sweet. It doesn't seem to go as completely invisible as regular glass (small survey here,3 weights/two suppliers/three boats but it looks clear from 3ft away). Seems to me for all the effort folks are going through one might as well go for a seemingly stronger glass. But untill there's some kind of comparisons it's still a lot of fun educated guessing.

I think the places I heard high thread count harness weave was used was in blades, helmets, that sort of thing. Can you or anybody explain "harness weave" "woven smooth" in more detail?
