Acually i was planning to apply this type of coat after the halves were pulled out and put together, so your method should work well. The color and what not would be added to the composite as it is layed-up. I look forward to seeing how it works out for you.

: Hi Hafte;

: I can't really answer your question properly, as I don't have any real
: experience in laying up in a mold. I have 2 immediate thoughts which I'll
: share, however. First, the runny nature of the resin may not lend itself
: to a uniform layer, tending to pool in the low spots. Second, it might be
: tough to color sufficiently to get an opaque surface. Gel coat is the
: answer to both of these problems, unfortunately. Perhaps someone who has
: more knowledge will jump in here . . .
