If you must add this additional weight. You can apply a either a polyester type resin or a coat of epoxy resin. A lot of people prefer epoxy over polyester resin, epoxy is a little stronger, but the polyester may be more what your looking for in this particular application. You really want have to get it completely saturated, just a good even coat. But pay attention to the edges, thes must be coated good. If left unprotected the plywood will wick moisture. It will probably be a good idea to seal the seams once you complete the instalation.   Now back to my first line weight. A 1/4" 4 X 8 sheet of treated plywood  weighs 36 pounds. A .032 4 X 8 sheet of aluminum weighs in at 18 pounds.   Good luck   Bobby     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 8:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of VACList Subject: [VAC] Re: belly pan replacement   In a message dated 06/20/2001 9:47:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << The alumibum pan material was in bad shape and needed to be replaced.
