tray reconstruction

[Lumpy]

about to order glass and resin for tray reconstruction and was wondering if anyone that has more glassing experience than i do (next to none) could tell me if 3 layers of 18 oz e glass from us composites will provide enough structural support to hold my fat ass up or any ideas for structural strength would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

Use two or three layers of biax instead.

i put down 4-6 layers of biax in my tray. so far my bigger brother hasnt cracked it so yeah, 3-4 layers 1708 biax.

60*F medium cure from US composites cured in 18 or so hours for us. put a heater on it and you have plenty of working time and cures fairly fast.
