Not enough exclamation marks!!!!, CAPS, bold text, or underlining. Your post is useless enough but not in the proper format.

You must have a very boring life !! Does your wife go out a lot by herself ?? why not get a dog and a ball and go play together !!maybe the dog would prefer to go with her any way !!

I learned this multi layer tribal trick in the first week of lamination.....Back about 1977 or so.....

Yip me to about the same era !, that's right and if its played with thought and care and knowledge the savings can be significant in some cases !!
Like 20 kgs of resin on just one side of a 22 foot yacht! still used the same glass laminate and amount of glass but laid all at once !!so we saved the guy 40kgs of resin !! and all that weight as well ,plus now days using the same technique but using stitched fabrics instead of 18 oz woven the saving would be even greater !!

SO COME ON YOU GUYS WHY CAN SO MUCH RESIN BE SAVED ?? HOW IS IT DONE ???

No, No, It fetches ducks, not balls. Probably

so how can so much resin be saver still using the same amount of glass ???

Just illustrate or tell us what you are wanting to demonstrate....

how is it that laying many layers of glass (any glass ) one layer after the other wet on wet uses so much less resin than laying just one single layer at a time and letting it harden before the next layer ???
AS I used to say to all and any guys I worked with if I have to think for you I want you to pay me !!

Basic, applied, molecular physics at work is my answer. So, if you know why are you asking us?

Depends on various conditions

Grassy hill? Is it raining at the time? Is it a rocky slope?

hahaha Holly crap you guys crack me up! i dont know the first thing about resin and glass but i accually enjoy this thread and many others seeing you guys go back and forth. Good fun! haha

Grassy hill in the rain, ducks not balls and then your wife! Ok thats a slippery slope. WTF is the answer!! lol Never mind I gota go put my power head back on and go boating!! haha

OK Actually ill try and answer this and I have never rolled or sprayed anything but my rims black with spray bomb on an old truck!

The reason you use less resin with 3 layers over 1 is because the layers will bond naturally requiring less resin in between to achieve the same if not better strength due to the bonding? Guess only have no clue gota go do motor work now! lol

Ding,ding,ding. folks ,we have a winner all the way from BC Canada. Even with NO glass experience he got it on the 1st try! Thanks for clearing this up whipper.
