Tabernacle - interior glassing final upper layer of 6 oz woven
Here, the final piece of 6oz woven cloth lays in the whole area.  This took about 20 minutes smoothing it all into place, working out bubbles, and then wetting it out and more smoothing.  Still a little messy in this picture, but looks good now.  :)   If I do anything like this again in the future, there is a strong case for vacuum bagging being made by this experience.  It was awkward doing it all wet on wet and getting a reasonable glass to resin ratio, and preventing the tape and cloth from falling off one side while doing the other.  Glad its done and it is all well stucked now as I type.  :)
