Hi, Roy-

I used the kevlar on the inside of the hull only. It wet out beautifully (MAS slow). It is VERY difficult to cut, so I have not tried it on the inside of the deck, as I have not a clue how I would cut out the holes for the cockpit and hatch. It has a cool-looking translucent appearance. I had expected it to be opaque yellow, but it is definitely translucent. I did not put any other glass on top of it.

Cheers- Mike
