I read it as your option #1. and to answer your question about the bid in
one piece for the whole
job in the well, yes i managed it, but some of it was rather stretched and
other bits compressed,
but not folded, one little trick i worked out, if you have access to plastic
shopping bags,
I had about 200 used ones in the cupboard, i stuffed them into the well till
i couldnt fit any more then put
a lump of lead in there for good measure, after i did the layup, other than
the small lines in the resin
---From the plastic bags, it came out looking like it was vaccum bagged.
another trick i have discovered
for those difficult bits where the glass wants to lift, if you cover the job
in plastic and then compress
a piece of sponge rubber onto/into the offending hole the job again comes
out like a vaccum bag job, excess
resin is forced out as well as the air, leaving a beautifull job.

or atleast that has been my experience

craig
