Took out the Kicker’s to install the 615’s, so I picked up a 30x30 sheet of 12oz glass, 105 resin, 205 hardener and 404 filler. I’m using a syrupy consistency to lay the glass. From the web-site I think it’s an E glass with .020 thicknesses. Previously for the Kickers I used only one layer from Blowsion’s Footwells, Hull Reinforcement kit (knitted fabric cloth??) as a comparison which had the thickness of those yellow ratchet straps you see on 18 wheelers. thinking of putting only 2 layers of the 12oz, think that is enough?
"West Systems 745 12oz FIBERGLASS FABRIC- is finished with a special chemical coupling agent based upon amino silane chemistry. Easily bonds with West System epoxy results in significantly improved peel strength relative to other chemical finishing systems. Tests indicate an improvement in flexural modulus and tensile and compressive load-carrying ability compared with other fabrics treated primarily for bonding with polyester resins. Fabrics are wound on rigid tubes and shipped in tube containers. 30 inches x 30 inches, 12oz @ .020 thickness. Fabrics are ideal for building composite laminates and repairing fiberglass structures. May also be used to provide an abrasion-resistant covering for wooden structures. When wet-out, the 4 and 6 oz. fabrics become transparent, allowing a clear, natural wood finish. May be painted or varnished."
