HOw long would it take for me to build a custom shelf (not box) to replace the one in my hatch, about the same size, using fiberglass and plywood??? I guess I should ask if anyone's done it yet, but how long does fiberglass take to dry and what not, and is it really easy to work with or a B*&$H?!

i don't know why you want to use ply wood. FG is easy to work with once you realize what you're up against. I would recomment taking some chicken wire and make a basic shape. Fibre glass right over it untill you have your desired thickness. Sand and shape. Use a fine finishing putty to fill high and low spots. And paint.
