This is ridiculous I have materials rad board design ideas but it is so wet I can't even find a place to get the tools out to make a new mould.  Or is that mould (black furry kind) When the weather clear look out. Veneer, Fibreglass, power tools, welding, concrete... Anyone got a CNC cutting rig they don't need. Ha.

wow, glueing a few veneers at a time using the vac bag is sooo time consuming.

however, patience usually pays off.

fiberglass from bunnings is bad, because the cloth is bad quality, and the resin is poly, not epoxy.

Did you mean fibreglass from bunnings is fine?  People have said to me that the fibreglass from bunnings is bad

Fiber glass from supercheap is fine, but overpriced.  Pretty sure bunnings have FG round the paint/builders filler section.  They have kits or just seperate elements.  Find a nice tight even weave so it looks nice :)
