Resin!

I use this wax to dam up the imperfections in the wood so the resin doesn't run all over hell.

Then I use wax paper for the panels and painters tape to prep for the resin. Wax paper pulls off cleanly- doesn't stick to the resin once it hardens.

All the panels taped up.

This is the resin I use... I get it at Tap Plastics.

Poured. Ready to work with in about an hour.

Next up, the sides and bambooing.
