: Also I should mention that in the end I will be covering it in a
: patterned fabric of my sons choice and covering that in
: fiberglass. I will be using polyester resin to do this and 10
: ounce cloth.
: 1. If using this method what thickness will the stringers have to
: be?
: 2. More aimed at Bill H.. how many layers of 10 oz do you think
: will be good I was thinking one.
: 3. Wood selection as in type, based on the fiberglass shell?
: The reason for using these materials is that I have plenty of them
: so this time around it will be cheaper than any other way.

: thanks
: dave g

: Merry christmas and happy new year to everyone!

Btw, I have no idea how this will work with polyester resin. I wouldn't recommend it.
