Cool

Actually, you don't want to use squares. or even rectangular pieces. Irregular pieces work best. The idea is to not have any parallel running seams like you would get with same sided pieces. That way there's no weak spots, I know we're getting picky, but the very best way is curved pieces, (like the curves in the letter "S"). They are the strongest.

Here is the glassed in Deck. I had to build up the saddle tank platforms due to the raise in deck height,to prevent water sitting under the tanks per the original design.
It needs a little sanding here and there and then fairing.
