Steve,
Thanks for the link. I remember seeing this
once before from you, once I went to the Web page. I think you are right about
the size, it's a touch small for my car.
On the Dome list, there is a reference to building
a Cardboard Dome. I think that I will enlarge this to the size I'm after and
join all the panels with a fillet of Epoxy re-enforced with fibreglass tape, in
the 'stich and glue' method I've previously mentioned, that is common in the
Boatbuilding industry. If I use a slightly thicker sheet of ply and use the
rotproof ply I've mentioned before I will only have to use a good paint on the
outside to have a very durable frameless and self supporting dome. Of course I
will have to re-enforce the very outside lip by glueing a 3x2 all the way around
the perimeter, but it should work well.
Andrew
