I have just finished replacing my gas tank and I'm getting ready to lay over the new sole. The sole is 1/2" plywood, and this is not enough to walk on, so the previous panel had a 3/4" section measuring the dimensions of the gas tank glued to it for reinforcement. <br />Here is my plan, and I would like to hear any comments.<br />I will epoxy the bottom and edges of the sole panel with 1 coat. Then I will do the same with the 3/4" section. While this is setting up I will thicken the remainding epoxy and probably just zigzag a 1" bead and put the 2 together, clamp it, then let it setup . I will then put 2 more coats on this new bottom as a whole, leaving the top for glassing once in.<br />Does this sound right? What should be the consitency of my thickener for this?<br />Note: the 3/4" section never actually touches or is fastened to anything. <br />Thanks folks.
