i just put 1 layer of resin inside and out, then one layer of fiberglass inside, and another layer of resin inside and the things is hard as a rock.. and has some good weight to it, if u want it reallly hard i say do 2 layers of fiberglass and 2 layers of resin over top to keep it smooth.. keep in mind, the more fiberglass and resin, the heavier its gonna be :D
