I'd be concerned if it only uses polyester resins. Only one of their product sheets said it could be used with all resins. You still have to have a mold of some sort. I don't think you could substitute it for plywood with the boats here since the plywood is our "mold" to give us the shape we are after. You still have to fiberglass over this material as well.

Jacques might be able to design larger boats using this material as it would simplify the cold mold process that is required for larger boats... IF it takes Epoxy resins.

Think TW32 or TW38?

The video is a good one to watch.

My opinion is it is way more work and harder to build well versus the method I explained on the other thread.
