[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2908490, member: 8394"] Based off of messing with a few over the years, I'd guess it's a proprietary mix of resin and fillers to get the stock material. Guessing by the air voids often found in them (have cut a few over the years to modify and always surprises me the amount of random bubbles in the material) its poured into molds. While not cheap I've only used epoxy to modify them, mainly filling pockets and revealing cut out sections. Mainly because I've no idea the composition and epoxy sticks to darn near everything. I've skelatonized, and made takedown versions out of 3 and refinished 2x. There isn't or wasn't any fibrous reinforcement like a true glass stock. It's more like a high density foam that boat transom are made out of. Clearly it works but it's not as straightforward as bonding glass to glass. [/QUOTE]
