Skin-on-Frame: adding puncture resistance to poly fabric

I'm almost ready to skin my Yost sea tour 15 exp. Does anyone have an idea of adding puncture resistance to 8 oz Dyson polyester fabric ?

I'm thinking of adding a piece of 4 oz fibreglas on the keel up to the first chine or would adding silica or another filler to varnish/epoxy do the trick ?
