Hi thanks,the glass cloth i use usually is biaxial cloth which is 600g folowed by 200g carbon twill.On the one in the pics id ran out of the 600g so used 450g and two layers of carbon so its possible the next one will be a tad lighter.Most people seem to just want the carbon in the rear 3rd but this ones for show and go.Im finding these layups work well and im not having issues with curing times but then even in our summers its not as warm as you probably get.On the standard glass hulls i use 350-450 mat first depending on customers needs then the cloth on top,seems to make a nice stiff hull.The biaxial cloths are stronger than twill cloths and drape very well as they have stiching running through them but they arent as smooth to the touch as twills,you need to be carefull how you pick it up as it will actually stretch lol.If you havent used them give them a go and theyre actually cheaper than a twill cloth.
Nice looking work on the cat,any pics of the finished hull.Id love to build a large cat sometime its just finding the time for the plug and moulds lol.Allready have a new vee on the go based on the Apache bottom (new top will be layed next week), and planning a 70" cigarette next along with a tunnel hull lol.I think i need abigger workshop and 3 pairs of hands lol.
