: I was just thinking about some new ways to dress up the deck on my Merganser

: how it would hold up under the fiberglass in the sun. Does anyone have any
: ideas? Thanks for your thoughts Joe

Hi Joe...
I have seen metals made by Formica, or Wilsonart. the guys that make the countertop veneer stuff. It's very thin but you can't fold it, its veneered onto a base laminate. but ya can bend it smoothly, like any other formica veneer. comes in lots of colors of metal.
