Your point about the wood being dry when covered with polyester resin is a good
point. It may explain his good results. Mostly people glass over their wood
hulls because of hints of rot etc. - ie. moisture damage - so for most of us,
the 'dry hull' is probably out of reach at the time of glassing.

I am in the marine epoxy business. I have personal experience with fiberglass
resin pulling off a wooden hull and get calls about that several times a year.
The polyester bond to wood seems to last 8 - 12 years and then starts to
disbond...

hope this helps a little bit.....
