What kind of glass do yall use?

Dose the scrim add poundage to the bow?

Is it just as clear or is it a little foggy?

Thanks for the input.

I think the scrim is good for lateral/twisting support. I would use w/o scrim for overlays or inner lam material and w/ scrim as the outside glass. I don't know about clarity.

I use UL, or no scrim on longbows(haven't done any recurves for a while).
I would think the scrim(ULS) glass would maybe be helpful on recurves for stability help at the tips.

Don't think you could tell diff in clarity,but had a bowyer tell me he has had no trouble with the streaks in ULS that sometimes show up in UL

The only #s you should gain would be in the .040 UL vs the .043 ULS(sometimes both called .040)  .006 worth of glass will make a few #s diff if you don't adjust your stack a bit.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I've used both for either 'curves or longbows and to be honest, I can't tell the difference in recurve stability one way or the other.
