[QUOTE="nineball, post: 5598450, member: 585829"] wrong. resin does not make it stronger, fiberglass does. the only thing that happens by using a thicker material for the initial shape is the use of more resin. you are throwing your money away. i use the stuff that gymnastic outfits are made of - super thin, super stretchy. again, resin does not add strength, fiber does. here is an example of the stuff i use and you can plainly see how thin it is once stretched.
