Thanks for all the kind comments. Today I used some scrap foam, wood and more glass to add some more strength to it. I slid it back on the original then I hit all the outer corners with 3 more layers of csm and resin. I added foam fillets in the radius inner corners then glasses them in to strengthen all the angles. I beefed up the flange quite a bit. I used some woven rover to build up some more thickness and to add to the strength the mold. I cut strips of marine ply and ran them across the larger areas and around the post and glassed them down. Hopefully it will be strong enough to keep it from flexing when I start using it to make new units.
