: One of the problems of what he's trying to do is that glass fabric
: was never intended to be wet out all by itself. It's normally
: applied over a substrate of some sort, like we do with kayaks
: over wood, or done in a mold with the mold being the substrate.
: The resin tends to drain out of the weave leaving it full of
: pinholes if used alone.

What if you did it "upside down"? Wet out the glass, stretch and place it on a flat surface, and then press your core material into it? Then the resin would stay in the glass......
