Once the layers have hardened, carefully though it WILL require some force, try to seperate the shell from the body paneling. Remove as much of the tape as possible; some will remain and that's fine. Trim your edges with a dremel to match your body panel lines. Admire your handiwork. The next steps are the tedious bits. You are going to lay more and more fiberglass on the INTERIOR of your shell. With each layer make sure you are dabbing out as much air between the layers as possible until each becomes transparent. Resin takes only minutes to gel and become useless so dont mix large quantities. The resin lid is designed to be your tray and is a good amount for each batch. BUY THE GALLON OF RESIN AND LOTS OF GLASS! You will use it. As the layers harden and more are laid you will see the thickness growing. You want about 1/4 inch all around. Thicker is fine but try not to be thinner.
