360 g/m^2 is about 10.6 oz/yd^2. You did well with it. Nice work.
I agree that the more probable problem is contamination /sizing. "Martin Schöön" wrote in message ... "Jim Conlin" writes: Glass heavier than 6-8 oz. will not go clear in epoxy. If you need a heavier layup for structural reasons, a clear finish is out. Glass cloth has a 'sizing' treatment that is sometimes specific to a particular type of resin. Ask your vendor if that glass is intended for use with epoxy. I don't know what 6-8 oz is in real units but here is a 21 year old boat that has some 360 g/sqm of UDWR glass in epoxy on each side of the Western Red Cedar. Looks OK to me but your mileage may vary. http://hem.bredband.net/b262106/Boat/juguete.html and http://hem.bredband.net/b262106/Boat/build.html I think the OP's problem is contaminated glass. -- Martin Schöön "Problems worthy of attack show their worth by hitting back."
