Now it's time to line-up the two pieces and clamp them in place. The green tape is used to keep the resin from dripping all over everything.
 

 

 

A shot just before they get bonded together. The amount of green that you see is the gap that will have to filled with fiberglass. It doesn't have to be a nice straight line as it will get filled and smoothed out later. 
 

 

 

Here is Wayne getting some fiberglass matting ready. He uses three layers  and no more because if four or more are put down, it creates to much heat. The type he uses is a very loose woven style. He says that the tight woven stuff will show through in time but this loose kind won't. Notice the expensive work bench.....(made out of cardboard sitting on two saw horses).
 

 

 

After soaking the fiberglass matting in resin, it's time to lay it in the gaps. You only have 10 - 12 minutes to use the resin after mixing it so you have to work fast.
