How i do it: 166g Glass filament fabric for the first layer
And then alternating between 600g roving fabric and 600g biaxial until the desired thickness is achieved.

If you first use putty all like mat suggests, the first lighter cloth should not be necessary. But a medium weight like 280 should be ideal to minimise print through.
Everything with "Roving" in it's description should usually be to rough in it's texture. Except rovings itself...
Everything with "mat" usually hints that there is some csm content, as far as i know.
I advice a standard medium weight glass filament fabric. between 200 and 300g.

Hi and Thanks again, lots of new suggestions ?? Glass Filament Fabric?, Roving Fabric ?  and Biaxial ?? what does all that mean. On my Mould so far I have put on 2 good coats of Tooling Gel, and just filled all the tight corners with Moulding paste, and 6 layers of 300Gm Powder GSM , and this afternoon I have ordered a 25 Mtr Roll of 280 GSM Woven Glass cloth, so will that do the trick, again Thanks for all your help I will get there eventually, Regards DM

Hey eddie! Any updates on airbox?

Hi, no very disappointing results, the advice I got on here was now helpfull at all as I first tried the Powderbound mat which was an absolute nightmare to work with just would not sit down and was full of air pockets which took hours of rolling to try and get rid of and so never looked perfect so I am sure if I tried to cure in an oven it would just explode, so really a waste of nearly £1k materials, so now I am looking for a Pro to make it for me, live and learn, Regards DM
