Landyacht,
Question; Regarding the Seat, How many layers of Fiber Glass Matting do you use in the ones you make??
As you know I have made the plug
This is a material I have never done and am keen to go for it, as it were![]()

ron, the shape you have there has no " overturned " edges to stiffen it lengthways , and needs more shape to stop it twisting.
have a think about some of the cross-sections that have been shown on the seatbuilding threads. the turned over sides add support without adding weight. simply adding more glass will often not fix the problem.
do you want to put this one in the construction section![]()

LOL That is where I thought I put it![]()
Took me a half hour to find it the next day LOL.
Will do.
What you see in the pic is a plug. My intent is to put a Ply wood base in the seat glassed in, another under the knees at the mid way mount. As for the turn over, I was going to use something like a bit of garden hose and enclose it in the glass construct. This would form a bead-------I think? or the other way was to fold the layers to from a thick edge about 32mm wide along the outside edge.

PS. Like I said I've never tried this sort of thing before.![]()
