Fibreglass Questions: Since you guys have worked with it before.

Do i have to wait between applying layers? And how far will one of those kits from Cdn Tire go? Could I make one skirt with one box? or would it take multiple boxes? Do I need to have a core of some sort (i could probably use some thin plywood) or can i just schlep enough fibreglass onto it and it'll work?

Also, i was going to do a kind of raised flat panel, and then i wanted it to have like.. a 1 inch smooth section to rest agains the edge. Can i make the panel large enough to cover the the whole edge, then have a section that angles back to rest against it? It's kinda hard to explain...

Code:
XXXXXXXXXX                                                                                                                                                        X
 X                                                                              
   X                                                                            
     X                                                                          
        XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Where the wheel well is 'up' from that, and those flat edges rest against it. The problem is.. How would i get it out of the mold. Or am i going about this all wrong?
