As the numbers of resin/glass interfaces goes up, the scatter goes up
because of the slight diff in index of refraction between glass and
resin. I wonder if proper choice of glass or resin (so as to match
indices of refraction) could make a transparent (rather than
translucent) hull.

Wonder no more

That, plus a 41 layer AR coating done in a giant chamber for optimum
uniformity.
I'll whip one up for ya. :-)
