In Response To: Re: Material: Aluminized Fiberglass (Howie)

I agree with the thoughts that it addds no structural benefit and is a bit heavy relative to the glass we normally use. I was mostly interested in using it for it's ascetic qualities, thinking that an aluminum like finish might be very cool on a stripper. (I have a bunch of bright finished boats) My main concern was getting it to conform well to the curves. I have never used glass heavier that 6oz.
