Using a Molding Table

[PipeDreamsMarine]

Trayder,

I like your post. I have a 5'x12' table that use the same way that you do. I make my own "skins" for my custom hard tops I build. One thing I notice that may help you out is that you can let the gelcoat cure fully before putting your matt down. This way you can place the matt neater and then pour the resin on and roll in with a 9" roller made for glue. This will cut down on the time need to wet out the matt and cut down on air entrapment along with stopping any matt though. The resin reacts with the gel causing a melting type action thus bonding the two. Also you may want to ad that the gel should be around 22mils thick to keep from causing wrinkling of the gel.
