: As I see it: If you were going to do this it might be reasonable to use a
: less expensive polyester resin rather than an epoxy resin, and use at
: least two layers of thin glass, with one applied to the frame and coated
: with resin before the second layer of fabric was applied. Or, use a very
: heavy (greater than 12 ounces per square yard) glass fabric in a single
: layer -- as a minimum.

The Fall '87 issue of Sea Kayaker has an article that talks about fiberglassed skin boats. Apparently, they were skinned in Ceconite (aircraft dacron), then 'glassed. It doesn't go in much detail, but I would think with a dacron underlayer for shape, it would be a simple matter to 'glass a skin boat much as one would a wooden boat. Epoxy, vinylester and polyester resins should all work, since you're essentially just doing a 'glass layup over a mold. You could even add a layer of Kevlar for color and toughness.
