Hi

I see that it is recommended that chopped strand mat and tooling resin to build the mold up.

However, after applying the gel coat and leaving it to cure to a tacky state, is it possible to use woven glass fabric and laminating epoxy resin to build the mold up?

Any experience to share?

Thanks all for your advice!

Great to know that woven glass can be used. I was worried about bridging at the corners when heavier fabrics are used. The chopped strand glass used in the easycomposites video seems to be quite light and conform quite readily to the pattern.

I am trying to get epoxy based gel coat but the market seems to be flooded with polyester based ones. We have safety concerns with handling MEKP. :[
