Default Polyester and Epoxy

is available everywhere in the Philippines but the available composites
are fibergalss and polyester. The only available epoxy is the thick, grey
generic type.


Then in that case you aren't stitch and gluing anything. You have no
glue. Maybe the locals know that.


Don't be too harsh! Boats have been stitched together long before anyone had
epoxy. It might be quite possible to get structural strength from the
stitches, and cover up with something (poly+glass) only to keep it
watertight.
