Do you have any spheretex or other core material? If so you could put a 6" vertical strip for strength and get away with two layers of mat with the core sandwiched between.

I saw your comment about ply, but if you have any 1/2" mdf board you can make a pattern to size and then bevel the edges at 45 degrees full thickness, wax it, and lay up bulkheads on that. They are great for eliminating the stress. A little work for just one boat but very practical. I could send you a picture if you are interested.

Reg

: I'm going to make bulkheads for my current build out of fiberglass mat and
: tape them into place. Any idea on thickness or how many layers of mat I
: should be shooting for.
