When I started working with high performance composites 30 years ago information was hard to come by. One composites related message board, I think. There was no epoxy compatable gelcoat, infusion wasnt a thing and prepreg was rare and expensive. I recall one of the board members shared that dusting Super 77 on dry fabric gave it similar handling characteristics to prepreg. With that, a well thought out process and several rounds of clear, sand, clear sand a quality part was achievable. Composites are still process driven and labor intensive as hell but having channels like this and application specific materials has removed most of the trial and error and associated pain and suffering.

@@Russell_and_Rosko I never noticed a negative effect on the Cure. If there was some residue it would just polish off. A little bit goes a long way. I would spray it in the air and let it fall on the fabric. Once it dries and most of the tack is gone it can also help hold the fabric to the mold surface assuming you're not using PVA. Although I haven't seen it I'll bet there's a product out there specifically for this now

an easy answer is to first make a mould. you have to "waste" a part you already have. 1: start with release over the part 2: apply gelcoat, 3:wait for the gelcoat to kinda harden, 4:then apply fibreglass mats with epoxy resin, use chopped then fibre mats in intervals. take out the fibreglass mould and then start with the part. 1: start with release 2:start laying up the fibre on the part and spread epoxy resin over the part till every mat and place is soaked in 3: then just let it harden this is just simplified, i would suggest watching a youtube tutorial for it

To minimize pin holes (not that I saw any) you can use a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting after you apply the 1st coat of resin to the mold, that way the viscosity is lowered and the air bubbles will rise to the surface.

Been watching a lot of videos and from what ive seen. The final finish of the gloss side is extremely dependent on the smoothness of the gel coat.
