finally got back in the shed a bit this holidays have five pressed blanks on the go right now and one more on order. so i will be cutting shaping and glassing 6 decks over the next few days and weeks so keep you all posted.

Its funny as i get better at building them it costs me more for materials.

It must be the carbon tax...... lol

yep - something like that. I've not gotten FG from them before (Carbon Fibre and such for me) - a plain weave will probably provide the best result for a cost-effective price (if that's what you're after) - have a chat to them about what you're trying to achieve and they'll advise you on what there is available.

Ah thanks a lot. If I'm not mistaken, I'll want something like the triaxial fabric, the biaxial fabric, the E Glass or the S Glass? And the latter two will be more expensive?

download their reinforcements manual here (about 4mb) - you're better looking to the WOVEN CLOTH products... or give them a call and tell them what you're trying to do ;)

ditto - steer clear of chopped strand unless you either want a lumpy finish or expect to do a LOT of sanding...

You'll have to do a bit of research but you definitely don't want chopped strand mat
Comment by Marcus M on June 26, 2012 at 21:33
Ah sweet. They seem to have a couple of options though, would i want the chopped strand mat power binder, or chopped strand mat emulsion binder or something else altogether?
