    I’ve applied 0.250” thick G10 as a leading edge to my bow extensions.

    I used one or two layers of 1708 glass on each side. Two hulls, one was a single piece; the other I doubled up.

    If I hit a small log or stick in the river at 20mph; will it resist crushing? The edge is 1/4”, but I’d like to take it down to 1/8”.
