You have to get everthing ready.....cut your material to the correct size and do any prep work [I was doing repair work] first.

After you mix the resin......you only have a few minutes before it hardens.....so work fast, in a small area. After the fiberglass cures.....sand it down some and add another layer, if needed.

I am not sure how you do a large area, like on a pirouge. I guess the risen is mixed so that it does not cure as fast.

You are right mix the resin hardner only 25% what the directions say!
