Rubbish.

According to the total material invoices for the 55ft hull I built, was
able to achieve about a 50/50 wet out using hand layup techniques.

BTW, "hand layup techniques" is just another way of saying a lot of hard
workG.


This is NOT a structural application. It's canoe hull sheathing, abraision
resistance and fir ply check checking.


All the more reason to have a high strength, low weight, high strength
laminate that cloth and epoxy provide.
