Thanks for the pointers. I went to home depot in search of Formica, turns out you can only get in online. I ended up with 4x8sheet of hardboard for $14. Not familiar with it but looks like it will work, one side has a nice smooth glossy finish. I ripped some 6" strips of hardboard and glued it to luan for some rigidity, also added 5 coats of wax. Hope they pop!! Screwed one in place and it followed the shape really well. Look forward to trying them out need some dry weather.
One question, has anyone kept the sheer on the cap while they core it? Before we took the cap off we tried support the cap to keep the flex in it to match the shear. Is this necessary or will the cap be flexible enough after coring it to bend it back into shape. Its not a great shot but shows it a bit. This is pretty far aft. Transom is just out of the frame on the left side.
