Do so,

Merry christmas

Yeah ok , you better leave the coremat out of the equation, its quite obvious
not all people like it. I possibly the only one, happen to like it.

Sorry if I have offended anyone with my personal choice of materials.

Happy Xmas

A merry Christmas to you as well Itchy!

It´s not so that I do´nt like it.
Just senseless to weaken a layup (at extra cost!).
He is doing a sandwich already, when he glues both skins to the foam. He does not need another "mini sandwich" on the outer skin. And he does not need additional stiffness, but intrusion resistance to some extend.

You did not offend me, and I hope I did not harm you!

No problem Richard

I just dont want this forum to descend into a mud slinging match, like it has of late.
Were all here because we like boats and between us Im sure we can all help budding designers and prospective manufacturers with our combined experience.
I have many years working with glass behind me but Ive still got so much to learn.
