: I work in a boat shop and these materials are an everyday thing for
: me . I would build the frame at home and glass it at work. I
: thought the 10 oz was overkill but it is there so I will
: probably use it. it is a small boat that will be plenty light
: even with a little over build. What are your concerns with the
: poly resin? I think it would be the resin bonding to the wood
: frame. Does it need to bond to the frame if the the fabric is
: stapled to it and the whole thing is glassed?

Needs to bond to the fabric that the frame is covered with. Polyester resin tends to be fairly brittle, not flexible like epoxy, the poly fabric/glass is very flexible, I'd expect cracking at some point.
