John, For more info, go here: Lots of info on resin infusion, fiberglass fabric, roving, mat, and lots of stuff you don't want to know about. Articles and videos. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Sat, Mar 1, 2014 at 7:16 PM, j..

Thanks - was confusing the terms mat and roving. Wish the book was still in print - will need to find a copy. John Sent from my iPad > On Mar 1, 2014, at 2:53 PM, Jim Watts wrote: > > Glass mat and chopped strand are the same thing...CSM. The 34+ was probably a > layup of CSM, woven roving

Re: Stus-List Help understanding composites

Oops, make that 1.5 oz where ever I said 1 oz. I think the changes in materials over the years makes less of a difference that what Graham said, "From hand layup, to vacuum bagging, to resin infusion and/or pre-preg." Reducing the amount of resin using these techniques results in a hull that is j

Re: Stus-List Help understanding composites

The schedule for the 1990 37+ Below the waterline the layup was one layer 1 oz. chop, one layer 1 oz. mat and one layer of C77K/200 Kevlar Fabmat (a blend of fibreglass and kevlar 49) outside the balsa and one layer of C72K/100 Kevlar Fabmat inside. This Fabmat is much heavier than the 1 oz. chop

Re: Stus-List Help understanding composites

Glass mat and chopped strand are the same thing...CSM. The 34+ was probably a layup of CSM, woven roving, and kevlar in a vinylester matrix with balsa core. E glass is the same basis as woven roving, just a different weave. Cloth is a lighter version of roving. The woven roving in the 34+ and the 1
