I am working on a project making decorative miniature cedar strip canoe and have a few questions as I have done this stuff before. Where it is only decorative I only plan to fiberglass the outside of the canoe.
First question is to what grit should I sand to? I have presently sanded to 100.
The second question is can I apply polyester fiberglass resin over penetrating epoxy. My plan was to apply penetrating epoxy then fiberglass on the outside and just the penetrating epoxy on the inside.
Finally, any thoughts on potential uses for a 3 foot long miniature canoe?
Right now I plan on making one into a combination bookshelf and floor lamp. The canoe would be stood on end attaching it to a base to make it stable, adding the shelves inside. I will hide a wire up underneath a keel and add a light atop it.
I also plan on making another one into a hanging light that could be hung over a pool table , bar or a dining table in a rustic camp.
Thanks
