a couple questions--
trying to make my list of materials--
after my tooling gelcoat what weights of fiberglass for the shell of the mold?
as best i can figure i need one lighter material to conform to the mold shape
and then heavier to build up the outer shell???
and how many layers (for the outer shell)in total for say an auto hood/bonnet?
and as i recall from the tutorial for hood/bonnet when the gelcoat is tacky then i can build my fiberglass layers up ?
thanks
scott
