after you put the gelcot with a little cotton powder on top so you do not have a glossy surface when you put glass fiber!!!
Mugu,

Thanks for the tip - I'll try that next time.

The only thing I did differently on the speedbrake molds was after the surface coat had dried, I put some thickened and colored epoxy to fillet the corners to help the glass lay down. I'm thinking that affected the bond between the surface coat and the glass. Will not do that next time.
