Material: 4 oz cloth inside and out.

I just glassed my boat with 4oz..complete. I added an extra layer to the football..and one on the hull floor..an extra
layer underneath the deck.

This used about half the epoxy i used compared to my last two boats and saves about 10 lbs.

I may chicken out and add a layer of 6 oz to the inside of the hull, it will be a heavy use boat, coastal saltwater.

Any opinions?
