    reserch before mixing resin... lol

    throw the brush away after and use another one next time.

    layers depend on the weight of the cloth and the technique you are using and also what you are trying to achieve and how much stress the area or part gets subjected to.

    i cut off back of rails to make flat deck...........it is solid under the fiberglass..........needed it to make it waterproof before the hydroturf........

    dont know the thickness of the cloth............ any number of layers ? 5? 10? 15?

    how many layers i can put at once? do i have to dry it after every layer?
    thanx for output.....

    Just give the ski to me and save yourself a headache,
    what type of resin are you using? What weight of fiberglass? Acetone to clean out your brush. Wear gloves!! Put as many layers as you think, each layer will need rolling out ..................oh man i hope this doesn’t turn out bad :? :?

    He doesnt need footholds!!!...The flat deck is so its more comfortable to sit and wait for rescue when it breaks down.

    making sure the air bubbles are out of the laminates, you can get the rollers from NZ fibreglass, look up you tube vids on "how to"
