In Response To: instead of formica (Paul G. Jacobson)

: I've seen some commercial vinyl flooring (what we used to call linoleum)
: which does not have a pattern making it look like floor tiles. It is
: designed to be waxed (even if they call it wax free), and is very flexible
: so removing the fiberglas/resin from it should be easier.

: but if you are going for simplicity, why not just stretch a piece of Saran
: wrap over things, and forget the wax. You could use polyester resin, too,
: and save some money.

: hope this helps

O.K. guys, that's it, now we're cookin'. We'll have this boat totally built in a flash here. This sounding really doable. What do you think Mike??
