[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 106455, member: 1931"] Also if you bond two FRP pieces together with mat and resin it is very strong. That laid over a 1/4" ply would have almost the same weight, but would be very strong. If it was braced about every 8-10" Perhaps even as much as 12-14" I believe that it would be fairly strong. But the ply is still the weak link, unless coated with resin or epoxy. (You could use epoxy to bond FRP and then coat the wood and that would work too) [/QUOTE]
