[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 106654, member: 1931"] The product I'm talking about comes in a 4x8 sheet. That should be enough to do your deck. If your planning on glassing it to ply then you shouldn't need the 5200. Just fill any gaps with resin and that will seal it. You can even sand it smooth afterwards. Just remember to sand the FRP so the resin will stick. I would glass the entire ply board and make sure that there are not any openings. Remember that resin alone has no strength. You need to have the glass to have strength and the more resin you use the weaker it is. I'd seriously consider using some sort of aluminum bracing. I've seen several on here who have done that and they don't seem to have any issues. Very light weight. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
