finished panel imperfections
 

I just pulled the first panel I built off a formica mold table.

The laminate is a triaxial E glass and the surface has lots of little
pockmarks. In a few areas that were resin rich, the finish is nice
and glossy as I was anticipating, but mostly it was not what I was
hoping. I'm thinking of a few choices:

- making the bottom laminate more resin rich (I'm testing this on
another panel today)
- OR adding a light surfacing veil

Any further suggestions to improve the ?

The top surface (peel ply) layer was as expected, slightly rough but
more of the weave filled in.
