    So you can't get fiberglass cloth there so as to cut your own tape?

    Yes, this is the idea. Support reinforcement could be formed by longitudinal elements or transversals (frames).

    I have both epoxy and polyester resin. Yup I havent been able to source fg cloth locally and ordering online is not an option. The only thing I have found is 600gsm roving

    Currently none of the timber yards have anything other then treated pine in stock and I dont think it will work in a boat as the damn stuff warps and splits like crazy in the sun. I will try the roving a bit and see how it goes
