Question on Easy Preg Surfacing layer

Hello Matt
I have a question about the EasyPreg surfacing layer. What would happen if I only used one layer of the EasyPreg Surfacing layer and not a backing layer? Would it cure as if it were a one layer of 3k twill infused?

The reason I ask is that I have an absolutely impossible piece to make. If I could apply one layer of the easy preg and cure it I should then be able to treat the surface like I was skinning a part. Because my part is so small skinning will not work, but the easy preg looks like i could cut it into very fine detailed pieces with my surgical scissors and then it would hopefully glue down to my mock up. I would skin my mockup with the easypreg to take its shape and then remove and build up layers for strength on the inside of the part. Then I would use my skinning epoxy to finish the out side surface. Clear/Polish/done!

Thanks

Fred

That is indeed very strange cause I'm STILL in college :p
