In Response To: layers of glass? (Don)

Hi Don,

You can wet out several layers at a time if you are using a low viscosity epoxy like MAS or Raka without any real problems. I did it on my last boat. However I found it was easier to one layer at a time. When you squeege out the epoxy the glass shifts a little and two layers is harder to get to lay down real smooth. I think it has a tendancy to cause more small bubbles as well.
