Would like to get a little more skilled before i bond on the body any pointers?

Its a little difficult without seeing the job , but the thing with that sort of glassing job is to not rush , cut smallish pieces of mat - dont try and do it in one or two bits . Also you need to keep it wet , use a bit of paste or even body filler in an awkward corner to grab the mat . . . you also need to not randomly just keep rolling all over the job chasing the bubble but tease it out the edge of the mat . . hope that helps . . . . the body layup is easier than m
