After you sand your fleece you can put as many layers as you want without sanding in between. As long as it hasn't dryer you can add layers. But once it cures then you would have to sand it. But otherwise you've got it. This is mat. http://us.m.yahoo.com/w/search/lp/web/mmimage/detail.bp%3B_ylt=A0S02RfP14tPOGYA4wVqOy4J%3B_ylu=X3oDMTI5MGFrMzAwBGNiaWQDBGNvbmNlcHQDBGNwb3MDBGNzZWMDBHBvcwM4BHF1ZXJ5A2ZpYmVyZ2xhc3MgbWF0BHNlYwNpbWFnZQRzbGsDaW1hZ2U-?i=7&q=fiberglass+mat&s=0&iu=&.intl=us&.lang=en&.sep=fp
Make sure fleece is stapled before soaking with resin mixture. Fleece needs it to be where you need it to be and stretched as tight as possible. Then soak, then mat and then apply more resin mix to the mat. But if you let the soaked fleece dry before adding the mat you should sand it a bit because some resins can leave a waxy film once cured.
I use Popsicle sticks if im mixing in a small cup or a paint stir stick (free in the paint dept) broke in half the long way for bigger containers. After you put the hardener in with the resin mix it like a crazy person but be careful not to spill cuz it sucks to clean up. I usually put a piece of cardboard down on the table so I can just throw it away after. Cut up a bunch of squares and rectangles that are a few different sizes before mixing your resin and hardener. I like to spread my pieces out on the cardboard and resin them up and then put them on so they are kinda pre soaked. That's just me though. Have fun with it
Damn bro. Sorry to hear about your dad, he must have been a hell of a guy. Well getting back on your caprice will help keep you your mind occupied, and it may be tough, be we got you man. My condolences to you and your family.
Really interesting thread and I think its all good stuff to know. My experience with running lower than spec resistance killed my first amp and I didn't really understand why, so I've been running no lower than spec ever since. Thanks guys.
