    rangebowdrie,
    That looks great and it is two part I used a one part wood rot prevention liquid on a trailer boat. That the ants seemed to like and after 15 years it had degraded and had a terrible odor.
    Doing a test will be easy enough. I wonder if a vacuum bag would give it a little boost with a open pour wood spices.
    That hot mold laminated was very much like fiberglass .
    I guess finding a autoclave large enough for a boat hull would not be something one would find online easily.
    Thanks
