Glassing Help Needed in St Pete

As I am preparing to move the boat, I did not get my sail control table complete.

I’m wondering if there is someone in Saint Pete or someone who knows someone in Saint Pete who might be able to do my sail control table in vinylester or polyester.

I have all the materials on the boat already except the core which maybe should be Okoume plywood? Open to suggestions.

This is finish work. Nicely routered edges, blending and “flat fairing” the faces, doing cove/fillet joints. Painted a gloss white to look beautiful.

It’s better for me to hire out larger surface area things like that because it’s just too much exposure to the resins for me. I’m having problems with them all now and the “esters” lose styrene very quickly, so they are best to lower my exposure.

For smaller surface areas, I can put on my breathing apparatus and do them, but areas this large, it’s best not to risk it.


Anyone know of anyone who might have the skills to make this look nice?

It’ll be the centerpiece of the salon and the first thing anyone notices.

It will have winches and line stoppers bolted to it later.

It’s just a table, built strongly.
