    Hello
    Greetings from Macedonia
    Has anyone worked with SWAKOR 2713 A/BL or BS and fiberglass? I want to build a 8.5-9 m long catamaran and to use this epoxy. Any suggestion ? And is 20mm PVC foam board is enough for hull , with 6-7 mm layer of epoxy and fiberglass from outside and 2 layers of fiberglass from inside ?

    The answer is that it depends on the design. Also you ask about 6-7 mm outside and 2 layers inside. Those are two units of measurement that can't be compared. How thick are the layers inside, what is the the ratio of resin to fibers, how are the fibers oriented, etc. has to be determined. I suggest you follow a designer's instructions.

    Let's leave aside the question of layer thickness. My main question was whether anyone has experience working with SWANKOR2713A/BL or BS . Otherwise, it will work with 1708 and 2408. with 0/90 and -45/+45 .
