I am building a new wheelhouse out of plywood and I want to glass the exterior
1 Does anyone have any advice as to what mat I should use, some one recommended that I use 1 1/2 oz and do two coats
2 what is an eay way to mix the polyester resin with hardener, I never get it right And it kicks too fast, what would be a good ratio if I want a good half hour to 45 minutes at about 55-60 degrees outside to roll the resin on the house then soak the mat for first coat
I guess I would cut the windows out first and have all my pieces of mat ready to go
The house is 5' 10" tall 6' 6" Long 47" wide the trunk cabin, for lack of a better term is cut in 18" to meet the windows and is 32" high
How much resin/mat do I need for two coats and what is the best ratio to mix the resin to hardener.
The framing is almost done and I would like to sheath and glass this weekend
Thanks
