: Thanks for the reminder. My plan is to seal coat the wood first
: wait till dry to touch 8-12 hours then place the first layer of
: glass and 1 coat resin wait 8-12 then add second layer of glass
: and 1 coat resin followed by fill coats. My shop is heated and I
: will follow Rob Macks instructions for temp considerations. Any
: suggestions for modifing my plan if necessary will be
: appreciated.

When I used that cloth I did both layers at once without a seal coat and with a hot shop and heated epoxy it wet out crystal clear super easy.
I would suggest when you get the cloth try this on a scrap to see how you feel about it. If you like it it will same huge time.
