the dense stuff is gonna be harder to wet out too, but if you have the time and a nice amount of resin, why not.

depending on how thick/thin the resin is my resin is like water and could wet it out instantly

yeah my resin will be absorb the mat quickly

I'll also be using extremely strong epoxy resin. stuff is 500 bucks a gallon, dont ask lol

For carbon fiber, I always use the expensive epoxy resin. For fiberglass mat, I always use the cheapest polyester resin I can get my hands on. There just simply isn't any advantage to not using the cheap stuff other than so e temporary curing odor. Spend <$100/gallon on resin, and save the good stuff for another project....IMHO.

yeah if I was paying for it I'd agree. But I get as much as I want for free

an epoxy resin is basically like pouring glue all over the inside of the box. Like tacoma said, if you have that much bracing your just making more work for yourself, but your choice.
