Questions;
How much arjay did you use?

What are those metal standoff things that appear to be spacing the skins?

You used poly resin. Is it OK to use epoxy with arjay?

I plan to cut the inside skin 3" from the corners, dig out wood, glass the old skin back in using epoxy resin. All of my fiberglassing experience is with epoxy.
I read that it is best for "repairs" of old glass and has better adhesive qualities.

Did you pour it solid and re-drill holes for drains? Any problems/suggestions?


Thanks for any suggestions you can make.

I used 3 5 gallon pails so 15 gallons total

Those metal looking things are 2x4's wrapped in duct tape.

I used poly to laminate everything back, remember with epoxy, epoxy sticks to poly and vinyl ester but poly and vinyl ester doesn't stick to epoxy.

Epoxy is over kill but I would use what you are used to.

I poured it solid, I will cut holes and reglass later.

You can PM me with any questions you may have, good luck!
