Two layers of glas fabrik with a weight of 160 g/m² each.
We "glued" everything wet in wet with a total amount of 3 kg of epoxy equal about 160 g/m² of epoxy per layer. This 1:1 ratio of farik and epoxy is a good result for hobbyists. My friend Wilhell at work:
After 2 hours of curing I "painted" everything with additional 70 g/m² epoxy to close the fabrik. I mixed some blue colore powder in the epoxy to have a good contrast related to the brown wood and the white filler. The blue color additional was a good indicator of the epoxy thickness.
Thank you Wilhelm for this help. Without a second person this job is no fun. How to handle the second 5 m long glas fabrik on the sticky first layer with only two hands...
After 11 hours of work including two good meals - last examination by Wilhelm, and good night...

Re: deck
Looks really good, Rainer I love the blue dye thing looks like a very effective technique. now all she needs is a little ole engine and boiler and just a touch of finish work.
