[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 234371, member: 6982"] I am fairly sure that if you are determined to go this route that multiple layers of 1/4 would be stronger, because it is going to give you more layers of ply total....I think. That said, not everybody uses 3/4 because of the unnecessary extra weight...I would imagine that using multiple layers of 1/4 with each being coated in fiberglass resin, will be even heavier. My suggestion, and from what I have read here a recommendation of others as well, is to do good framework and use only 1/2 ply. It will hold you fine. [/QUOTE]
