Hey Boxhead,
I do not know how your baby was made but for general info here goes. If you glass the floor tub to the body to create a sphere shape it makes it very strong and ridged. Boxing a frame compared to a C-channel frame is a loose comparision for the strength added. Some warped panels can be held straight as a benifit. If you can clamp or straighten a warped panel and then glass it in place it will then hold that shape if supported close enough to the warped edge.
Email me direct for brand or part number specifics. Wipe down with accetone to remove any mold wax. Sand or rough up with 24 or 36 grit right at seam area to give it a little bite. 2 or 3 " wide roll product is avilable for this but tearing 4 oz. mat into a 3 inch wide strip works well too. (on horizontal areas) Brush resin on surface and then place strip over seam and wet out. Repeat or apply to each side if possible.
Wet strip in general (it will have white areas not soaked in yet) and give a few momments to penetrate then come back and bush resin on until it becomes saturated completly. ( HINT - do not push mat into a 90 degree corner but allow a small radius)
On the vertical or overhead seams brush resin on area to be covered with mat strip and STOP here. When resin becomes tacky or about kicked or when mat sticks to the resin = apply the stips over sticky area and wet out as above. If mat falls on the floor you did not wait long enough or you waited to long ???
