Default Need Laminate Advice

Nobody at all? Just need to be pointed in the right direction as to
what materials I need to make a fiberglass skin on a foam. As to
thicknesses and number of laminates I will do the testing, but do I
use biaxial, roving, mat, cloth all or some of the above? I will be
using epoxy as a resin because of the foam blocks I will be starting
off with. Thanks again in advance.


I don't know much about it, but Dave Gerr's book on Boat Strength has the
necessary infromation. His scantlings may not apply directly to canoes, but
should give you a good starting point.
