two more questions.

#1) a)has anyone used Bondo brand fiberglass epoxy resin?

#2)Palm routers. are they good enough or should i just go for the regular kind? (i also have a dremel tool, and they sell a router base attachment. Would this work?)

my one question is how the hell did you get such KICKASS graphics?

one more question. The how to describes using painters plastic on the mold as a method to keep epoxy off the press. Does this stuff bond to the epoxy at all?
