OK, I'm familiar with coremat, and you definitely don't need it, you already have a thick foam core. I also don't think you need to do inside and outside with cloth. I'd just do the outside with cloth and the inside with just resin, you can always add cloth to the inside if you think you need it, but I doubt you will. I'd also sand the foam with 80 grit or so to give a better "tooth" for the resin to grab, since it's a mechanical bond not chemical.
