Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 9, Visits: 192	I have a mould of a car bucket seat id like to use, just wondering howamy layers of 200g black diolen twill would be needed and any core material? Ie coremat? Would polyester resin and diolen be strong enough for a bucket seat? I'm guessing yes as bucket seats are made from fiberglass sometimes just wondering if you can advise me on how many layers/what core to use basically Thanks Tags Diolen bucket seat car polyester

If you use a peel ply you can add more layers if you need to so I would start at 3mm thick and 9 layers.
