mike,out of all the boats you have built would you tell me how paint with or without glass differs in performance and longevity.I look foward to your reply-dreu
Not sure which Mike this is directed at but I will offer my .02. I don't think it matters if you glass or not unless you are using Fir plywood. Glass even light weight will keep Fir from checking. The main concern is surface prep and a fair surface for a good looking finish. You can use either one of the two part fairing compounds or mix your own by adding fairing compound to mixed epoxy.
