I use fleece cause it will pull super tight and can give you the exact shape you are looking for. I use whatever glass they sell at the local auto parts store, i am not going to make mine very thick at all, there is no reason for it to be, prob just use the fleece, and 2 or 3 light layers of glass, then the milkshake mix to smooth it all out when done. the trick is in the bondo! use good bondo not junk, i like dyna gold, works awesome

Joe, my ultimate goal is to vacuum infuse it. Mainly for cleanliness, but also to alow me a dry lay-up of all layers and a better resin to reinforcement ratio. That will also give me a stronger finised piece. I plan on using a surfacing veil to reduce print through, a laminate bulker as a core, and then a middle weight fabric for the inner most layer. I am also giong to use vinyl-ester resin possibly tinted black so I "might" be able to skip paint. This is also going to be done on the patio of my apartment and kitchen table. I'm single so I don't have to worry about the ol' lady yelling at me for working on the table!

Got the upper half of the inner glassed and trimmed so I could bolt it to the outer and tried it for fit on the bike... pain in the A5$ trying to get it to sit right with bungee cords and the clutch cable in the way! sorry for the crap cell phone pics..
