How fiberglass can be used as an alternative to canvas in sealing decks against leaks, and adding to structural strength as well.
Many letters have come to me on fiberglass construction. They have come from all parts of the United States and some from Canada and they all ask many questions about the material and its applications. The questions most often posed were: How can I use fiberglass on my present boat? Would it make a better covering for cabin tops and decks than canvas? What are its insulating properties and non-skid values? Will it bond with wood without heat and high pressures? Fiberglass is ideally suited for covering wood decks and cabin tops and while providing armor plate protection will, in addition, add considerably to the structural strength of the boat.
