I did something similar on my VP-1. So I made a test piece of 2 1/8" plysand tested to failure against a piece of 1/4" for both side load andtension. The 1/8" laminate held up better by almost 50%. That made mydecision and I just laminated a second ply of 1/8". I put on a coat ofepoxy (west) on both pieces of ply and lightly scraped the excess off with acheap plastic scrapper/trowel. This left a niece even thin coat. I thenwaited for it to get slightly tacky. Then pressed both pieces together andweighted the assembly with a large cloth bag of sand.Greg YotzReady to cover waiting for warm weather....________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 09:18:45 -0600
