I made something very similar, but for the broad plane surfaces I made ribs
using thin dowel covered with a couple of layers of cloth. I borrowed this
technique from kayaks where (at least many years ago) it was common to lay
a piece of hose covered in cloth to form the keel.

I was curious about PVA spray and stumbled across this:

1) Spread resin on the mold
2) Lay in the first layer of mat. Stipple with brush or use a resin
roller to push the mat into the resin until it is all wet.

Thanks a lot, Frank. I didn't realize it would be so hard to glass over the

Warning: If you glass the outside of the hardboard it will require a lot of
time to yield a nice, smooth finished surface. First of all, multi-faceted
surfaces need to be laid up in multiple passes, because it is hard to cover an
outside corner
