: Hi Roy,

: It was a wet layup with 4 layers of 9 ounce twill and a halo of 5.7 carbon
: sandwiched between. I damaged the gel coat on extraction so the finish you
: see in the photo is a respray of lemon yellow gel coat with some clear
: added.

: Best,

: Reg

Nice looking project.....I might have to make one

Why did You go with the gel coat instead of adding yellow dye to the resin?

How much does it weight?

Best Wishes
Roy
