RE: Seat cowl

Many years ago I used to be a laminator making the fibre glass parts for fairground equipment and the giant multi lane slides.
Making a part from scratch we made a wooden pattern first then made a mould from that or by far the easiest way for you would be to buy a corbin cowl and make a mould from that and then make them to order.
The general method usually used is to polish the mould as shiny as possible, paint with a release agent, two layers of colour gel coat which is the final smooth shiny finish, Then start adding the glass, one layer of 1 oz mat (add a little gel to the resin so its the same colour as the finish) then two seperate layers of 2 oz mat. Letting it cure in between stages, it should go off in around 30 mins just after you finish stippling and rollering.
Lift the item from the mould, trim the edges and wash off the release agent to reveal a finish as shiny as the mould was.
