Thanks again Jon
I was going to coat mine with a bilge coat product but read lots of bad things about it flaking back out. I ended up taking left over VE resin and coating the existing exposed areas. Once that dried and I was ready to cover the area I used interlux 2000e epoxy barrier coating to seal off the fiberglass to water proof it from any water that may get down there. Epoxy resin alone would work well and be better than polyester due to the water proofing nature of the epoxy. The polyester resin is porous and will not seal it as well.
