Hey fabricators,
In this video I'm trying to make a fiberglass roof for Wratchet from the mold I made in episode 1 from Mauler.

Here is a link to the Podcast from TheAutoAcademy

Here is a list of some the products I used in this.
Epoxy (I bought a gallon) https://amzn.to/2TvqXhQ
PVA (releasing agent) https://amzn.to/36mHvO4
Fiberglass Cloth 6oz - I bought this locally, I had purchased 11 yards and that easily covered the roof 3+ times.
Release Wax https://amzn.to/3dQ3orY
White Gel coat no wax https://amzn.to/3nZEWuk

I experimented with brushes and rollers, they were not as good as just using a squeegee.
I recommend spraying on the PVA for smoothest results.
The roof I made in this video was 3 layers of 6oz cloth and 2 layers of Gelcoat.

Here is my shared folder if you need anything in it.
