RE: Float finishing
I went to the local "mart" and got some fiberglass cloth. It's pretty heavy stuff from made by Bondo, but it works great. Super strong and not too heavy when finished. I only glassed the bottom part from the step forward. I know alot of you will say glass the back half also, but I figure the polyurethane coats will make it tough enough to survive. I am using Rustoleum enamel paint before I lay on the poly. I'll try to post up some pics this weekend.
