[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 2058246, member: 111667"] That is actually close to how i did this one. I did two layers of thin mat with chopped in the tight areas then vacuum bagged. That left all the details pretty good. Then I added a layer of thick green air filter material i had around and two more thick layers over the top. The filter material was 1" thick and added some meat to gaps when bagged. Then went crazy and added more of the thick mat after :) I learned real quick I want the FG mold to have a bit of flex while removing the CF. CF doesn't want to budge. saw how mcmillan uses gelcoat in the mold. Great idea, I just dont have any yet. Another great way to fill in those tough areas like the sharp curves in the handle and the foreend. [/QUOTE]
