neither had i before this.
Always cut out the shape you need before you start and make sure it fits. Put a thin layer of epoxy over what you are laying it on, then place on the fiberglass and use a brush to gently work it in and add some more epoxy resin if needed but dont go mad.

i got it from astec models, as they are in the uk. They do ship wide world i think. Also offshore electronics is good.
One thing i would like to add though is this. If things are as expensive where you are as they where over here, it may end up cheaper to buy an abs hull. Unless you just want the fun of building. Just a thought
