Hello Everyone,

I've got some extra resin and cloth from a surfboard repair so I thought
I'd finally try to fix the cracked polycarbonate bulkheads in my 17 year
old kayak. I have what looks to be 8 oz cloth and some of that nasty
choped up stuff that i think is called figerglass mat.

I'm thinking the bulkhead should be about as thick as the hull maybe a
little thinner. Does anyone out there know the layup schedule for a
typical kayak hull or for a typical fiberglass bulkhead?

Thanks,
mike
