Hey guys, Just curious how to attatch wood, like plywood or marine board to a fiberglass frame. I need it to be strong, very strong. Thanks

D8 sander and prep both surfaces. It will bond well. Use the chopped fiberglas  for several layers and then finish it off with the matted glass.

My boat has a small front deck on it. It's made out of Fiberglass, I want to expand it so I'm going to put a plywood deck on it and then carpet it. How does that work? Do I put a screw through the plywood into the fiberglass? And if so, what screw? Thanks

You certainly can screw it if you like. If you glass it correctly there should be no problem. Just make sure your supports are flush and mounted to keep everything stable. Don'y try to screw into the glass without drilling a small hole to allow the penetration. Without it you may weaken the area due to the screw breaking up the glass.

When you prep the area sand well and feather it out 8-10 inches to allow plenty of room for the glass to adhere.
