[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8832104, member: 587645"] Since this is being assembled inside the vehicle I'm not using any resin or any kind. Fiberglass resin by itself is very weak. It adds mass, not strength per-sey. The benefit you are seeing is by layering the plywood with the resin and essentially making a composite. I'll be bracing appropriately, and if it's flexing more than I want, I'll add some C-channel on the inside of the panels or something. There are plenty of ways to stiffen a box. The best way would be to make internal bracing out of the 1" ply. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in eating another sheet and wasting alot of material to make some braces. Matt [/QUOTE]
