you need something thicker, without so much stretch, once it gets the weight of resin it'll sag n stuff. Gotta be careful of that

Is it just me or does it look like a squirrel fell into the top right corner?

I dont know.... cant really make out what that looks like. Anyway, u might try streaching the fleece better. I use to have one hell of a time with the acutal fleecing because I'd just lay it on, staple it and hot glue it to the foundation and then scratch my head when the center of the box fell in when I resined it. You have to litterally streach the crap out of fleece, if u think you've streached it enough, keep going. Once u have so little give u cannot pinch it up, thats when its good to fleece.

on bigger projects, use something thicker like Sherpa or Fish Fab. It can hold it's own weight and doesn't stretch, it almost shapes it's self, when youtake it off it hold the shape, even dry.
