Still experimenting, but with the mold there are two layers of thick black tooling gelcoat, then some filler to put a radius on all the corners and inside inlets and hard to glass areas. On the last one I did two layers of 4oz, four layers of 6oz and about 5 layers of 10oz.
On this one I'm using some satin fabric that I got on sale and sucks for cowls, it is 9oz and the satin conforms to very complex shapes so I'm going with one layer of 4oz, probably 4 layers of 9oz satin and two layers of 10oz. I also got some filler material on sale that adds rigidity to the mold so I'll be putting a few strips of this on the outside as well.
For the cowls themselves I'm also still experimenting but with a gelcoat layer it seems to work nicely with one layer of 4oz and one layer of 7.5oz. I'm going to experiment with a few different layups on this one just for the sake of learning.
Waiting for gelcoat to set a bit then we'll get some filler mixed up.....
