Ok i have decided to go with the cloth.
I have read that when doing the seal coat, people will apply uncatylised resin to the wood and let it soak in. Then apply a catylised coat after no more soaks into the wood.
The theory was that you could get air pockets under the fibreglass if it was to soak into the wood while drying. If you saturate the wood before hand, you could eliminate these thin spots.
Has anyone tried this? From what i understand, the resin hardens due to a chemical reacton, so all the resin will become hard.
