Thanks Brian, that is sort of where I am heading. Today I found three types of loaf pans at Wal Mart but only the large 12" aluminum foil pans are large enough ( two for $0.97). My plan now is to use these pans with some trimming (they are too deep) and when the shape is OK I will put a coat of resin on the inside and a single layer of glass cloth on the outside soaked with resin followed by another coat of resin on the outside and when it hardens I will trim it and paint it black (as usual). That way there will be the rather wrinkled aluminum with fiberglass on the outside and resin on the inside and I will leave the aluminum trapped in the resin sandwich. Overall this may take a week or more allowing for curing time but I will take a picture when they are finished. Thanks all.
