Wow! The 'finished' pics are after you removed the mylar?? A-Ma-Zing!!

The lack of a smooth finish has always been one of the reasons I disliked doing 'straight fiberglass' on the outside of a project... always thought the only way to get a decent smooth finish was to build a mold first... a bit more work than I wanted to do for a large one-off part... but this approach is so straightforward and simple... Awesome!!

Thank you for sharing!
