I spent 3 hours tonight covering the bottom 3 planks of the build with fiberglass. I had some 4 oz. glass on hand, so I used it. I would rather have used 6 oz. but the budget being what it is... I went with what I had.
After I sanded the edges of the tape, I used a foam roller to coat the ply with epoxy. Not sure this is the best procedure. I probably should have laid out the glass, poured the epoxy over it and used the rubber spatula to wet it out. As it was, the glass is hard to smooth out. It turned out ok I think, but it took a lot of coaxing.
While it's "green", I will coat it with a couple coats of epoxy and be done with it 'til paint time.
