: Good plan. Just a reminder: it is a tight weave fabric. It will be
: harder to wet out crystal clear.

Thanks for the reminder. My plan is to seal coat the wood first wait till dry to touch 8-12 hours then place the first layer of glass and 1 coat resin wait 8-12 then add second layer of glass and 1 coat resin followed by fill coats. My shop is heated and I will follow Rob Macks instructions for temp considerations. Any suggestions for modifing my plan if necessary will be appreciated.
