In Response To: Re: Strip: Arcadia sister ship (Lomic)

Other question : we discuss about 6 or 4 oz fiber glass, and I was wondering what it gives in gr/m² to see which fiber glass I have to find here

and I am surprised, because I find conversion rules like: 1 ounce / (sq foot) = 0.305151727 kg / m2

'US' weights for fiberglass cloth are in ounces per square yard, for chopped strand mat (which we don't use with epoxy AFAIK) it's ounces per square foot.

You can work out the conversions with arithmetic... roughly: 6 oz per sq yd glass = 200 grams per square metre.

You may have visited there already, but Bjorn Thomasson's website has some 'Eurocentric' information on building (also many excellent ideas for all of us + links to other builders)

As you mentioned in a previous post, Google will translate if necessary - some of the pages and comments on BT's site are in Swedish.
