Then cut layers of matt to completely cover your pattern you can tear it at the corners the overlaps will be twice as thick so yo either tear out a pie slice or dont worry about it. A 1/4" part is about 6 layers rolled out correctly--but you probably dont got a roller--you could get one off of ebay.
put on your nitryle gloves.
You get a piece of cardboard and lay the first ply on it and once you got the resin catalized CORRECTLY get your 3" poly chip brush and wet it out Q U I C K, then the next 4 right on top.
pick the whole pile of layers up and drape them onto the pattern. With the correct pressure smooth it down on the pattern-( it has to be built robust enough not to fall apart). smooth out all the matt using the brush to work the air bubbles out and where the corners of the plys were torn-frayed smooth down and all the air out. lay the layer of cloth on last and go over again using a squeege AND your fingers.
Keep checking it for gell time. You want to time it so its past the inital gell and half way to completely kicked--you can use a stanly trim knife to easily cut the EOP when the time is right.
