Hi very basic to you boys but i have never worked with epoxy before ,so be gentle.
  I wish to fit drawers in the rear of my van but to keep the weight down was to make them out of thin ply? then coat them with epoxy ,maybe a strip of glass on the corners.

1. is this idea possible
2.what materials 
3.how to go about it
4. will they stand up to the hard usage and weight of being in a work van
5. Any other advice would be great

(i am a carpenter so timber construction side of things is not a problem, i just want to keep the weight down but maintain strength)
 Thanks
