[QUOTE="ramos, post: 7289740, member: 540858"] you should always alternate the bias each layer of mat or cloth. One direction first layer, turn the piece 90 degrees for the second layer and so on. Like has been said flat is easier and quicker done with mdf or plywood. Since your already half way there, glass some thin scraps of mdf in, or some 1/4'' poly rope in. Then do a couple more layers on top to add stiffness over the large flat area.
