A question on fiberglassing

[RJesus 10+ year member]

I'm about to fiberglass some kickpods, but I have a question.

I put the fleece on the mdf frame, put resin/hardner mix on it, let it dry.

Then when its dry to the touch, and not tacky, I start to put the fiberglass chop mat on. Do I let it dry between layers of fiberglass chop mat, or do I put it on one after another as fast as possible?

you can layup 4-5 layers all at same time.

better to lay them when they are still wet. Do several laters at once for sure. You will use less resin and it is easier.

yes you can lay as many layers as you want...no need to "apply as fast as possible" but you need to work in quick enough that you get it layed out before your resin jels on you.

Thanks, thats exactly the word I was looking for.

The label on my can of resin says the 'gel' time and I wasn't sure what it was for.
