A Fiberglass Seat Pan

Went home at lunch today and bit the bullet. I have been afraid of working with fiberglass and decided to "just do it." I am sure that I won't win any awards for smoothness, but I was able to get eight layers of mat laid down before the 12 minute time was up. I will have to wait until after class this afternoon to see how it worked, but there were no visible bubbles and the resin and mat conformed to the cardboard seatpan alright. Lets hope it didn't leak past the tarp onto the bike!
