how did you bond the joints on that transom
where would you source that 20 pound foam that the stringers are made from
and how thick is that foam
surface layer that covers five axis, could you explain that
thanks
typing at the same time you and beat me to it
the material on the transom looks very heavy (stout)

0/90 is woven roving ? 0/45/45 is tri ax ? 45 / 45 is bi ax ?
i read about warp, fill, thread, tow and so on but it just got me a headache and. more confused !
last year i pulled apart some 1708, because it sqee gee'd w/ the stitching and at a 45 w/ the top layer of 17 nice,
but not against the stitch or top layer.
i was thinking placement (direction of stitching c/w strength) and how i would sqee gee it once it was in place. "overthinking it."
so if placed 2 layers of bi-ax material, 1 layer stitching north/south, and the 2nd layer stitching east/west would it be 4 axis
thanks for putting up another thread like this and keep throwing out the insider stuff like the trick w/ the roving

just for educational sake here is what the numbers mean when discussing fabric
The first two number denote fabric weight in sq/yds and the second two denote mat weight in sq/ft
1708 = 17 oz bi ax with a 3/4 oz mat stitched on
1715 = would be same as above but 1.5oz mat
1700 = same as above but no mat (this is an epoxy or VE onky fabric as no mat should ever be used in an epoxy system)
1808 = is an 18oz fabric with a 3/4oz mat stitched on and this fabric is generally a Chinese import and a 0/90
2200 = the triax i use is a Vectorply with a full uni in warp and additional 45/45 bi ax in three layers totaling just under 22oz . . . . good stuff
