Hey guys i weigh 60kgs and i was thinking

would 3x4mm be fine with a layer of fibreglass top and bottom?

With using rice paper for graphics, can you put it on over fibreglass? or do you have to put it under?

A cross linking pva should be ok to use. Titebond 3 is great but as charlie said expensive, best found online. Epoxy works very well also but will add a small amount of weight to your deck

Titebond 3 is the best glue apparently jasper, but its expensive and i dont know where you could get it in adelaide

1.2-1.6mm for each veneer? and could i just use pva glue to glue the venners togetther or would i need expoxy? thats what i was meant to say

1.2-1.6mm for each ply? and could i just use wood glue or would it need to be expoxy?

you need veneer for a succesfull drop deck, 1.2-1.6mm should do the trick
