It is a good idea to double up the glass on all joints. If you are not after a clear finish then Dynel is a good choice on the exterior over the glass tape on the joints. The Dynel will give you better abrasion resistance and will work better to stop the checking in the plywood.

I believe Olifin is even tougher than Dynel.
Some builders do awesome stuff with combinations laying them at 45 degree
angles and such.

After reading here, I will definatly double up the joints and the
bottom. Is there much of a cost differance for the Dynel vs. the
fiberglass? Also, can I mix and match? Maybe Dynel on the bottom
with glass on the sides? or do they not wet out the same?
