Great Stuff

Tracy... your theory on Prepreg is interesting. So, if I understand this correctly... "I used some half ounce cloth in the mold first and then put the prepreg in, and the resin flowed into the lightweight cloth and made a very smooth surface".... you are laying 1/2oz non-prepreg cloth into the mold then the prepreg over that? [sm=stupid.gif] Umm... OK. You do realize this acts as a wick for the resin right? Therefore reducing the amount of resin required to properly cure the prepreg cloth[X(]
Properly molded prepreg (as seen in pic 1) does provide a very nice, smooth finish. And, as you can see in pic 2, quite strong.... BTW...that's 21" of deflection without so much as a pop (17,700lbs).
At least your keeping it frozen. That's one step in the process your doing correctly
