I never did get the fiberglass to work to my satisfaction on the topsides. I tried again with smaller batches in cooler weather, but still got the fiberglass veil I spoke of in my earlier post. So I stripped it off again, decided not to stain the boat but just let the natural woodgrain show, and moved on.

What a bummer! A really tricky process by the look of it….you’ve convinced me not to try it on mine.
Who would argue with Clint Eastwood !!
Thanks Chris.
I know it can be done. There are guys who make strip planked canoes that do a beautiful job. Of course it’s a little smaller area, but I think I’ll have to take a lesson from one of them on how to do it. It just would be such superior protection for the boat.
Oh well, next boat…
