You were probably doing a wet lay-up not infusion where there is tons of time to get everything just right before adding the epoxy....

Yes, I should have explained that better- it was a wet layup, layer by layer, wetting as I went.

I just re-read your post...sounds like you were trying to lay each layer separate. doesn't work that way...lay several layers out and wet out...then transfer them as a unit onto your mold. do all your smoothing on a surface as a group ...not individually on the mold

Thanks for the tips!
