Hi all few questions for the guys that used 1708.. from the research I've done all I really need to glass the stringers in is 1708. Chop strand on the bottom and roven on the top. I'm not an expert on glassing materials. But what I was thinking of doing is bedding my stringers in pl premium..and taking a spoon maybe use some acetone to make my transition. I'd rather not use PB or resin jelly trying to keep my expee down, and use the 1708 for tabbing. Also I had a original post where the glass was being heived I would like to add an additional stringer on both sides for structural rigidity. I was also thinking of glassing the whole inside of the boat. Has a thin hull to begin with. Would a few layers of 1708 work to "beef up" the thin factory glass? Or what do yo suggest? A heavier roven mat from us composites? My boat is a 79 bayliner mosquito 16' closed bow. I was going to order 10 gallon of resin for sure and what you guys suggest for mat. Thank you
