Thanks

I helped someone with a boat once.
It takes skill, organisation, planning and experience to lay up large
areas of GRP. You need several people who have done this before. You
need separate teams to mix the stuff /lay up/keep the materials coming
and to clean the tools.
The problem is consistancy and getting a good finish.
The vertical bits are the hardest to do.
It's the most messy job in the world.
The ambient temperature/humidity is critical as is the exact mix.
