.....What application are you thinking of? Is it
: the coaming? that makes sense but so would glass so at that point it's one
: of those,,"I've got it and it will make it stiffer and it looks
: neat"

Yeah, I was thinking of using it in the coaming and as reinforcement under the deck just fore and aft of the cockpit. The stuff is pricey, I haven't purchased it, and the benefits are limited in these applications soooo.... I guess I'll use glass in it's place and save the cash.

Thanks, Dave
