There is a weight penalty without a significant strength gain from glassing the sides and bottom. >Has anyone formed their own gear legs from multiple lay-ups of glass ? If >so how was it done ? Yes.

Deihl does not use standard fiberglass and epoxy. >Gav Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 lar...@socal.rr.com
