<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I was thinking about doing one soon myself. I was planning on using 5200 on the joints and using some type of water seal like thompsons on the wood. THo I have to say glassing the inside would be a good idea if you have worked with it before.
For simplicities sake I would stick with the water seal & 5200.
Ya know PM troller11 & jquitano to see what they used.
I know what to do now as soon as you said fiberglass. I am not going to use fiberglass but west system epoxy can be used on its own as a barrier coating. I still have some left over the last time I did some fiberglass work. A couple coats of that and that wood will be sealed.
Great idea on the epoxy barrier!
As far as the hinges go I would use simple full length piano hinges. Simple, strong and they don't bend easy if you secure them properly.
