I'm working on a decklid right now and it's super challenging (and time consuming) to get the first layer to lay down fully on the surface of the mold, without bridging and resin rich areas in the details.

It was never really my intention to make parts with visible weave. Really, it still isn't, the intention is to have beautiful, strong, and light parts that get painted.

But I want the paint to hide quality, not mistakes!!!
