    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    More pics of panel lamination Lamination is fairly easy. First step is to lightly but thoroughly sand both foam and frp skin. Accurately mix epoxy and resin. I used a paint brush and applied to frp skin, then laid on foam. The skin is fairly rigid so it lays flat, however weight still...
