Hi guys,

Yesterday I started making a mould and only went as far as gel coat and first reinforcement layer but then something came up and I had to leave in a hurry. By the time I came back, the mould was already cured and rock solid. I was wondering it I can keep on reinforcing the mould  with subsequent layers even after the gelcoat and first layer have cured? Would it delaminate? It's a pretty big part and I've used quite a bit of material even this early so it would be costly if I had to start all over again. 

If it's of any significance, the gel coat and resin used is polyester.

Regards,
Stan

I'm using chopped matt so the surface is already pretty rough. I think sanding it might actually make it smoother lol
