I forgot how time consuming layer fiberglass layups are... and I'm a decade older than last time probably. Eeek! Well I put down 2 layers of 3.2oz glass and a later of peel ply over the exterior side of the cabover bottom. I'll probably suck it up and do a layer of glass over the interior surface but I'm only gonna do a single layer and call it good. For the exterior of the floor pack it has me debating just glassing the joints and epoxy coating the rest or sucking it up and doing a layer of glass over the whole thing (I am really not motivated to do two layers after the layup today...). A coat of epoxy is far less time consuming than glassing and working out the air, wrinkles, etc.
Doesn't look like much but here is that work. The skim layer over the nail holes/joints and also along the scarf I had wood flour mixed into the epoxy so that is where all the brown coloring is coming from. It'll get trimmed up after curing.

At the moment I've already got (3) 1"x1" box tubes stacked and welded on the current C channel so there is 3" right there which accounts for the thicker and topside support of deeper, the bottom side support of the deeper is this 2" thick cabover bottom I'm making right now which is obviously substantially more stiff than 3/4" ply. I have the option to stack additional 1"x1" box tube up until I side the thing so I can add more depth if desired still.ooh, sux about the hail. Nice work on the cabover bottom. Insulation is a VERY good idea. Remind me where the room is coming from to beef up the cabover section so much? You added C-Channel to make it "thicker/deeper?"
