[QUOTE="Go Fish, post: 234386, member: 6062"] First, I really think 3/4" ply for a tin boat is overkill. I vote for a single sheet of 1/2" ply Second, polyester "fiberglass" resin doesn't stick to wood very well. I worry that if it does flex a bit (which it will) it would crack and delaminate. I vote for epoxy. You can check out what I did here: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19949 I'm 200 lbs. and the epoxy/glass/ribbing reinforced 1/2 inch ply that I used has very little flex. [/QUOTE]
