Its a standard in the industry. I used epoxy resin by West system. Its expensive but by far the best to use. I am not sure how thick my three layers are due to the way i layed my transom in. I thickend some west with 403 and spread it all over the existing skin, then i layed in my first layer of wood which was coated with 3 coats of west. I threw bolted it in 30 places with threaded rod to make sure there were no places it didnt get pulled tight. once it hardened i removed the bolts, scuffed it up and layed one layer of 1208 cloth. when it started to kick off i put another coat of epoxy on the cloth and then through bolted the next layer of wood and let it dry. Then removed the bolts filled the holes with dowel rods soaked in west. then put two layers of the 1208 cloth on top. If i had to guess the 1208 is about 1/8th thick for 2 layers. The reason i used the lighter cloth is it is a lot easier and a more efficient way of encapsulating the wood as air pockets and areas that wont wet out are easily rolled out with a fiberglass roller. It is imperitive you get a fiberglass roller by the way
