: Don't sand. If the whole thing turns out bad, use a heat gun to soften the
: resin, grab the glass with a pliers and peel the whole layer off in big
: sheets. Glass and all. Much faster than sanding, and you have no nasty
: glass/resin powder in the air to clog your lungs.

Is there a time line for this technique...is it still effective a month after the lay up, or must one get to the heat gun thing before the epoxy has a chance to cure?
