In Response To: Material: Light weight layup (Larry C.)

As for building,

Use the very light pre-coat of epoxy, then ensure, no floating glass by using a sqeegee. I'm sure you will get lots of input on building techniques so I'm going to drop this thought. I'm really not that experinenced.

What jumped into my head from way out there, is that if you are using float bags, why will them with air, why not helium or hydrogen, or some lighter than air gas.

good luck
