Many things have multiple uses just because it wasnt made or designed for this doesnt mean it wont work, and i plan on being the one to test it out, also i am not encapsulating it in fiberglass, like said above the factory only used 1 layer and in some cases not even that so it seems they didnt uses it for structure but simply to try and protect the wood which they failed. I have already tested the bond with just resin and it is strong.
