Six ounce, plain weave fiberglass sets the standard for home boat building. It conforms to any shape, easy to wet out and provides the durability you expect of any hand-built canoe or kayak. For general recreational use a single layer of 6-ounce cloth puts most builders in their happy place between durability and boat weight.

Canoe builders often turn to 4-ounce fiberglass for the interior lamination on a solo canoe. A logical choice for a smaller hull carrying light loads. When you need a beefier laminate use a second layer of 4-ounce glass laid on the bias.

Or, for an expedition-tough canoe use 8½-ounce twill. On a 45 degree bias, it will drape over any contour. This cloth was developed for aerospace, but use it when you need high strength, fast wet-out, and drapability.
