Glassed balsa core

[frank smith]

Are balsa core panels available pre glassed, or is that some thing you have to do your self?

I remember reading that one catamaran owner was quite disappointed with the quality of the factory glassed panels.

He said he had wished that he had agreed beforehand what "acceptable quality" of panels was, so he had some comeback with the factory.

Hi rw, I've comented before on the dry look of duflex that I've seen, seems plenty of people are easily pleased though & building some nice boats out of it, personally I'd rather laminate the panels myself & incorporate some extra detail & gelcoat too. Regards from Jeff

I got some panels from these guys about twenty years ago but didn't find them on their site. The distributor was in Everette, WA. Good people, bent over backwards to assist and fine product.
