    I have my templates cut out already for front and rear decks and a false floor (3.5ftx7ft) on my Gheenoe, now I just need to get some mat and resin and glass is all over. How much am I looking at to glass this? I'm pretty sure all I'd need os some mat and a resin/hardener mix right? Do I glass both sides? Any tips?

    glass and resin can be found about anywhere, If you have the ability you can google it and get many online stores that sell it. As for glass, try ebay. As for the cost, any estimate you get would depend on the quality and quantity you end up purchasing. Once you figure out how much you need, you'll be able to better estimate the costs. as far as tips go, there are many good posts already written, and some continuing as I found out by asking that same question. see the following posts for more info:
