RE: Steam Pickett from plans
I think there's an old saying "if it works, don't fix it". Well, to modify that a little, if the 5 oz. cloth works . . . On re-reading the fiber glassing article, Pat also talks about the 'weave' of the fiberglass cloth having a lot to do with how well it lays. Obviously your 5 oz. cloth had a 'good' weave that laid right. I wish I understood the weave aspect better as I would prefer heaver cloth vs multiple layers of 3/4 oz. cloth. I'll be looking forward to the pictures.
