Re: Fg splitwindow bus bodies
Can only imagine how wavy those sides are going to get as the resin continues shrinking after you build it........
Doesn't matter how well it is done, post-cured, whatever. It WILL show up in time. Nice idea for anyone busy with one of these though:

Re: Fg splitwindow bus bodies
The above idea is sound but structural foam should be used between layers of e-glass and epoxy. This creates an I-Beam effect that is immensely strong and will keep its shape. Most modern catamarans are built this way.
The yacht I am working on is 18m long and the sides look awesome and the weight is a heck of a lot less than a standard polyester resin boat.
