(Poor Man's Fiberglass)  It's basically thinned down Titebond 2, painted on, with a layer of the cheapest painter's tarp you can get from Harbor Freight, or even bedsheets from Walmart, also painted on with the Titebond.  That then forms a weatherproof seal over the wood walls.  After it dries completely, then paint it the color of your choice.  This method works quite well with foam too, as some tear-droppers are actually building out of foam for towing behind their economy cars.The only problem I can possibly imagine is if one lets their small boat sit in the water for extended periods. (weeks-months)  The immersion may then start softening the water-soluble Titebond.Just my opine.....Roger</blockquote>
