My "Sound Guy" I took with me to check them out before buying them, said
it
would be worthwhile to strip the vinyl, and spray them with fibreglass
resin.

Its a little more than just a spray AFAIK, i used to work for a car audio
shop making enclosers, kick pods, panels, bezels, etc.. out of fiberglass
and there was alot of preparation and mixing involved and if not done right
it can be a mess, its also very hazzardess your health and is deadly if the
right precautions arent taken.

Now, dont get discouraged, if you feel you can do it, then i would get
intouch with a fiberglass supply company, i dont know of any in the UK and
the one where i got my stuff from says they wont ship out of the US.

Take it to a surfboard shop and have them do the work. They do it all day
long, and they don't charge a lot.

My question, though, is whether anyone has tried the spray-on truck bed
liner material. Around here, lots of pickup trucks are driving around with
this spray-on polymer stuff in the bed, and there are places all over the
place that are applying it. It looks like just the thing to stiffen an A-7.

He's in East London Scott, so I doubt the place is brimming with
surfboard shops...good suggestion about the truck bed liner, but again
how many pickup trucks are running around the UK.

Also I wonder about with environmental regs over there how easy it is
to apply fiberglass resin or spray polymers.

IIRC, Fender now paints all their guitars down in Mexico because of
environmental regs in Cali...which is so American - "hey let's go
pollute someone else's country".
