Too bad your not closer... will laminate for food and bait money
As for "wetting" out, I cut the piece to size, and used binder clips at the top to hold it in place, and folded the 1708 over the top. Than wetted down about 16" of inner skin with some slightly thickened epoxy to keep it from being runny. Folded the glass down over it, and then wetted it in from the inside. I did this 3 times, then, had to filet all the edges.
Hot laminating, one on top of the other is the way to go with epoxy, as soon as I got the first layer in, I was laying the next one on top of it. Doing it this way, the layer underneath is more or less wet, and it goes alot easier, but by the time I got done with 4 layers, it about killed me.
Maybe you could do it at once, but like I said, I did mine alone, so that was the only option.
As for wetting it out, I have used epoxy foam rollers, and plastic "blades". I would put the roller on a 45 angle, and pour a stream of epoxy on the roller as I went.
I liked the plastic blades in the corners, etc.
It is really hard to describe.
Tip, don't use the mixing plungers to measure in these amounts, use measuring cups.
Tip, get a couple boxes of gloves from harbor freight.
Tip, less is more. If you see something that is a little ugly, don't try to fix it, you will make it worse.
Tip, cut ALL the 1708 first, and start with the smaller pieces, overlaping 2-3" outward on each layer.
Tip, make sure your inner skin is clean and LEVEL. Mine was a mess from the factory.
Tip, if you have shoulder length hair, wear a hair net or plan on ripping it out, or getting it cut afterward
Tip, don't do this like I did during lovebug season.
Actually if you have any questions, pm me, I am not an expert, but have been down that road.
Here is what it looks like when it's done
