its messy and if its your first time you probley screw up a lot.

1)mix the resin as said on the container

2) make strong frame work as useing thick metrial like fleese can warp

3) if you have not yet read. this is a good how to. apply the same technics to you build https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=74519&PN=1
