Step Four: Building Rod Holders

[@harryspear1948]

No brother. That sounds like more than you need. Most important for structural integrity is the joints ( hard turns ) there you need to put a fillet ( radius) made of putty (resin with filler) then overlap the joints by at least two inches each direction. That is where most stress occurs.

Any place where surfaces change direction dramatically need extra layers of structural material. Flat surfaces not so much. Bow, transom, chines, keel and stem and where bulkheads or mullions connect to sides or bottom of the hull. I hope this helps.
