My wife and I are gonna do this as a project together. Our question is we would like to leave it natural (no paint). Well we would like it stained to a minwax color early american. At which point in the process would we stain the wood?

Hi I was wondering if you guys know any technique to let the resin mass in proceso to refinish the boat while draining the resin, it would have somehow to mix in some powdered product?

@marcelopria Not quite understanding what you are asking in the first part of your question. You can add other things to "already mixed epoxy", but it can not be more than 25-30% by volume of the total mixture. Things like sand, wood flour, pigment pastes, and graphite. Mixed epoxy flows, but more like honey than water.

@fivetreehuggers After you have cut out the panels, and finished the edges. Becareful not to mark up the panels with too many pencil lines. Erase before staining. Use a water based stain, as they (I'm told) work best with epoxy.

I am considering building some superstructure (flybridge) using masonite for outward tight curves then coating with epoxy & glass. Have you had any experience with Masonite and epoxy?

No, and I don't think I would use Masonite in a marine enviroment, and I don't think the Masonite would be able to handle any type of curve without snapping in half.
Better to use some 4mm marine grade plywood, and slowly (over time) wrap it around your form.
