Epoxy resin on aluminum is a bad combination. The epoxy and Aluminum
chemically react and over a short period of time (8-12 months) corrodes the
aluminum. Ford had a problem with that several years ago on a window assembly,
they ended up using a thin piece of titanium.

Gentlemen,
I've recently been pondering my fiberglass
exoskeleton. Since I'm diving to 300 meters, I don't want to use wood for
substructure. Can I glass over aluminum? Would fiberglass structural sections
(tubes, I-beams) work? How would you build a 30 foot fiberglass cabin
cruiser hull without wood?
Thanks,
Joe
