I work in a boat shop and these materials are an everyday thing for me . I would build the frame at home and glass it at work. I thought the 10 oz was overkill but it is there so I will probably use it. it is a small boat that will be plenty light even with a little over build. What are your concerns with the poly resin? I think it would be the resin bonding to the wood frame. Does it need to bond to the frame if the the fabric is stapled to it and the whole thing is glassed?
