    Building a new dogbox over engine

    This might help... I'd use ext grade 1/2Plywood and seal it with either epoxy resin or one of my favorites... As shown carpet and vinyl makes it more functional. Some sound proofing material glued to the inside is also kinda nice.

    Boat covers and Canvas work is a LOT different than seat and side panel upholstery.

    fiberglass over plywood deck restore

    I also Highly recommend using a bubble buster roller. Lots of guys only use the short nap roller and pour the resin on top of the glass. I think you get a better bond and less hassle with the glass if you lay down the resin first, then the glass and use the BB roller to force the resin up...

    1980's Hydro Glass Restoration Project

    Cardboard roughly cut to the hull shape and a Pencil Compass will allow you to scribe a line from the hull to the cardboard and then cut it out to use for a template on the wood. As long as you're within about 1/4" the PB bedding will take care of the rest.;)
