Thanks guys
I too pushed for the epoxy and they would have sold it to me but they really feel (and who am I too question a shop thats been doing this for 25 years)that this is the way to go

I thought I would get that response about the Vinylester as I too felt that way... but they assured me that it will come out to my liking .... I hope soooo....Guess I'll be the "sacrificial lamb" for now!!! [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Billybob ... when you say alot of weight .. how many cinderblocks to keep it flat??? I'm more concerned about the big deck (53" X 31"). I was told to drill a bunch of holes (to let the bonding material seep through) in the plywood to ensure that the whole face is bonding to the skin...I was also told how to thin the resin to help soak into and wet out the plywood.

Your not kidding about the thickness of those skins....had to be real careful esp. with the big deck ... surprised that didnt fold in half on me!!

This should be an interesting adventure !!!! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I'll keep you guys informed of the progress....
