There are a few posters that have said epoxy/glass does not work well over foam - any ideas why?
Epoxy and glass works well over foam but you shouldn't expect it to very tough at the weights we are talking about. When it comes to dent resistance the composite skin is only as strong as the compression strength of the foam.....unless you add a significant amount of glass. .56 ounce and 1 ounce glass are going to provide very little resistance to dings and dents. Done correctly, it will provide a nice foundtion for painting though.
