FWIW, looking at the adhesives that are re commended, not sure that epoxy will bond very well with this.  Also, expansion rate for th is matwrial may create an issue for thius applications.
But, may be worth a try, it's cheap enough.
Like to hear if my concerns are born out when you fi mish project.

Fred,

I'll take a look.  I know one side is textured, but that could be side that we bond to if we just use more epoxy.

I'm going to try to build a hard bimini.  The plan is to trace the shape of the frame onto pieces of 2x6, cut them to shape and then screw a piece of cheap plywood to the 2x6s to have the right shape.  I'm looking for something flexible that will give the underside a nice smooth finish than can be expoyed to fiberglass and painted.  The rest will be glass mat, foam core, epoxy, more mat etc.  I know I could just add more epoxy and sand it, but I rather avoid all that labor.

Any suggestions on materials for the finished underside?
