    Fuel tank installation

    Cross reference pricing with online US Composites 12' wide is way ridiculous. Just lap it.

    or what its worth I would mop down with bleach after a hose down to get any crevices free from mold growing or even with acetone to quick dry out same. Looks good, any flimsy thin glass take it out.

    Like I said to each his own and all the politics that go with it. So many misconceptions and at a point of "Who Cares?" Just pick your poison.

    EEPPooxxyy is so easy, stronger, more expensive, easy ratios and does not smell. I did my whole boat with it. Whatever you start with finish with it.
