If another layer is required you have a great surface to do a secondary layup, no sanding.

Some hints I would ad is to make sure you don't have any wrinkles in the fabric. Dont stretch the fabric as it causes the layup to distort.
Where do you get this fabric ... any fabric store ?? And thanks for posting
