I bought fiberglass for my triple on 2 separate orders. The first glass I bought had a slightly green tint (kind of like bullet proof glass only far less noticable. I noticed it when I put it inside my hull next to the second batch I bought. The second batch was very clear.

I pointed this out to Joe and several others at R2K and none of them would have even noticed if I hadn't pointed it out.

I'm writing this to let the rest of you out there know that this glass exists and to make sure you order the clear kind.

I'll definately order from RAKA again, I just now know that there are color differences in the glass finishes.

I sent samples of each and a picture back to RAKA and this was their response.
