Aside from being highly entertaining, that was very helpful. :-) Thanks.

I didn't realize you would use rollers for the saturation and fill coats but pour it on and squeegee it around for the whatever you call it coat - the glass adhering coat. That helped me visualize it much better.

Someone recommended to me the other day putting a saturation coat on both sides of the sheets of plywood before even cutting out the pieces. He said that way you can do it while it's lying flat and avoid runs and drips. Any opinions about that method?

The concerns that come to my mind are one, that the building process is going to sand some of it off so there will be places with no saturation coat when you get ready to glass, possibly creating spots of starved glass; and two, what effect would it have on having possibly months between the saturation coat and the glassing? I guess you would need to lightly sand the saturation coat between fully curing and before applying the glass?
