I would strongly suggest that you do a trial of putting on your composite onto a small scrap before you commit to doing the entire shell.

I would use some super 77 and spray glue on your pink board to stick the fiberglass to it. Don't try and lay it up in one piece rather do it in a 3 sections or more. paint on the epoxy US composites is a good choice. then before it cures lay on smooth strips of either rip stop nylon or polyester cloth.

Once cured you can peal off the cloth and have a nice finish which you can add another layer if you think you need it. I would use 3 layers of 6oz if it were mine.
