Hi, Matthew — welcome back! How long a piece of molding do you need? And is it straight, or on an inside or outside curve? This past summer I salvaged some straight molding (not a lot, but some) from a 38 that suffered hull core damage, and was being stripped and landfilled. This would be the proper dimensions for what looked like 10mm ply with the laminate face on both sides.
