I meant if not fiberglass then aluminum. Fiberglass alone would definitely last long enough. I just don't prefer working with drippy stuff. I make a huge mess. Much safer for me to work with solid materials lol

Ah.
Do you need the thickness of the plywood? If not, just use 1/8 aluminum got the ring and use a good two part epoxy to affix it to the dome. You can cut a ring with a jig saw. (I'd recommend clamping it to wood as a backer to not bend it much.)
