: If you're hitting rocks with your deck... you got more problems than the deck
: glass...

: I use 3.75, (or 3.25??) satin weave (from RAKA) on the deck, (inside and out)
: and it's o.k... However, I reinforce the areas where you might have stress
: at the hatches and rear deck while entering the cockpit.

Oh yeah, I do that too, double cloth on the foredeck and behind the coaming on the aft deck. (foredeck is in case you ever need to do a T rescue, pulling another kayak up on your deck in front of you).
