[QUOTE="ramos, post: 164299, member: 540858"] If it were me I would go ahead and add at least a layer or mat or cloth. The fleece soaked resin is still flexible to some degree. It may not seem that way. But if you were to try to bend it before you add a layer of mat or cloth, then afterwards you would see a big difference. Resin by itself is brittle. The strength fiberglass has comes from both components. One with out the other is weak. If you really don't want to use mat on teh kicks try this. Take some bondo and mix it with resin to a consistency of milkshake. Stir it real good. Then use either of the catylyst. Pour it on the inside of the kicks and move them around so it spreads evenly on the inside of the pod. It won't be as strong as glass. but it will be stronger than just the resin. It will also stiffen the fleece pretty well. You could do the same for the trim panels. But remember these techniques have no where near the strength of mat and cloth. But if all your doing is trim panels you might be able to get by with it. [/QUOTE]
