Good day to everyone on the KRNET First of all I would like to mention that I ( like many others I suspect) rely heavily on the "NET" for guidance on my project and I forgot to thank those who responded to my recent questions regarding sources for foam.
I did not find 6" but did find 4" and was eager to get to work. The foam I found was at a local building supply house and is the blue DOW foam. By the way this turned out to be much more difficult to sand to shape because it is a more dense composition than the urethane foam I have been using. I have built my aft deck and am having a problem finding "silk weave" glass cloth as mentioned on ML's excellent build site I have found plain weave, satin weave, crow's foot -etc, but no silk weave. Can anyone recommend a source for the silk weave or is this just another name for another type of weave? One website mentioned that their 1.5 oz plain weave was good for a smooth finish. Also would it be wise to use a lighter cloth to save weight if it gives a smooth finish ? I have seen cloth in the .5 oz weight. Does this cloth produce an even smoother finish ? Does anyone know whether the .5oz cloth would be harder to work ? Thanks, Jim Litchfield S.E. Virginia
