In Response To: Re: Material: What size/type of glass tape to use (Jay Babina)

Jay, I've always wondered what is an optimal reinforcement at the chines for four panel s&g hulls where the interior and exterior are covered with glass. Is a continuation of the same weight of glass sufficient for the interior?. In other words if the exterior has 6oz and the interior has 6oz is 6oz across the interior chine corner sufficient? Is 1 1/2" 9oz tape common for interior deck/hull seams just because it's pre-cut and convenient to roll out?
