wide tray glassing tonight.. tips appreciated

No. Just over the areas that are open to the tray or foam. If it's an open tray or polystyrene filled then you can fill it with water to check for leaks, if it's pour in foam then overkill is the best method because there is no way to test it. I'll try to find some photos.

If you are making parts then I expect you would be vacuum bagging and I doubt you would need it. I'm sure there are better methods than mine when building parts. Nate D would be a good resource on that.

Nate d is already helping me. I have the concept but his equipment lists and etc have been very helpful keeping costs down.

It's 4.5 inches deeper at my toe. The curve was just to taper off to standard width at the front instead of just boxing the whole thing out. Crappy job? Probably, but I don't have the talent or budget to get upside down I just need it to hold up chasing boats.

Again, i dont mean to be offensive. You can probably find some of my hack jobs if you go back far enough in a search and from day one i had direct supervision. You did just fine for you first job excluding one thing, you asked for advice too late.

Thats the beauty of composites. If youre willing to put in the time, just sand that down, add some reinforcement, cover it will filler, sand it acceptable and cover it with turf. Itll look fine. You already have the epoxy so you just need some microspheres.
