Fiberglass thickness
Is there a chart anywhere that would give the finished thickness of a fiberglass layer?
I would like to compare the combinations of different weights of fiberglass to come up with the desired 1/4 inch hull thickness.
I would also like to estimate the weight of different combinations. Does anyone have advice on how different weights/types of glass absorb west epoxy?

Thanks,
Rob
