well if you don't like wood...........(er what kind of...???)

Any how, I spoke to a fellow at the Small Boat Expo who had a pile of Fiberglass Panels and wanted to know if he could use them to build a Stitch and Glue boat. I told him I thought he could do it just like he was building from plyWOOD I would use epoxy and be sure to sand the panels thoughly first to allow the epoxy to get its teeth into the fiberglass panels.
