I am mounting and RAM TO auto pilot and to get the right height I need to mount it on a double stack of 2x6 boards. I was planning on "gluing" the boards to the fiberglass then using resin and heavy fiberglass cloth to hold the boards in place on all sides. My question is should the boards be "glued" down using Epoxy, or just straight resin?

My opinion is that epoxy is the choice for that one. It generally has a better bond, especially to any existing structure, than polyester resin. That is one place that ya don’t want to come loose!
