lol...I still need to get the front glass and install it. There will be a week curing just for the silicon. It won't happen overnight but it will happen

Thanks for the very straight forward break down and tips.
How many layers or thickness of matting do you aim for?

In my case because the ply structure is so heavy itself, I have applied 1 layer of 300gram woven roving matting on all the large flat areas inside and out( If you were to use chopped strand matt you would probably need 450-600gram as it is a lot weaker then woven roving). All the internal supports, top braces and corners etc have 2 layers and overlap on to the flat panels by about 4".
nice work gt how much have u been priced for glass? my misses dad works for city glass ill ask him how much for 15 mm and 19 mm should be a bit cheaper by cutting out the middle man seeing how there roughly a 300% mark up in the galss industry
Cool! Would be greatly appreciated. I was going to get some prices shortly actually. Glass panel will be approx 2400 x 870mm so he can quote.syndicate;3304303; said:
