    Is one layer of fiberglass sufficient for the interior of dry bins?

    What thickness cloth, type of resin, what are they made of, and what are you putting into the bins?

    The bins are made out of plywood. They are going into my 20' lake skiff. I'm using 1.5 oz Matt with a poly resin

    The mat should be fine. Remember to use wax on the gelcoat or it will stay sticky.
