Make sure you let it set-up well before you drop it in the water...
This stuff is less expensive than marine plywood, but I think it would be better.
Make sure you get ALL the edges.
How about just "regular" GRP from McMaster-Carr...
Unfortuanatly no shipping to Canada
Oh rats. Sorry about that. There may be sources there but I don't know of them.
I hate that they won't ship up here.
