I must cover my plywood with epoxy (of course) in a stitch and glue boat.

I'm thinking adding a dark green pigment would make for a durable camo job.

It will work just fine... You can do either powdered pigment, or
liquid... Actually, RIT dye will work quite well also... Look a tthe
Gougeon site for West System epoxy... One of their back news letters
describes the experiments they did with coloring the epoxy...

The aluminum dust provides UV protection for the fabric underneath.. I've done some fiberglass parts that way too. It works fine. Richard >> Stay informed about: Epoxy Pigment
