My partner and I are preparing to build 17ft fiberglass sea kyaks. We were told that one layer of 17oz double bias stich mat with vinylester resin would be strong enough. We used some to erinforce cross bracing on the mold and noticed that it is only 1/16 inch thick. Is this thick enough to not oilcan in the hull?
