Let's give George credit on this one. I've tried it with the heavy precoat and no precoat and had different problems each time.The idea of using a light precoat is one I blatantly stole from some of the notes from George Roberts, who has convinced me that a thin precoat can do the job and also be a tool for saving some resin and eliminating some weight.
