I looked in the how-to, and I understand the difference between laminating and finishing resin.
I bought laminating resin today for my smallish project (maybe 4-5 sq feet), but now I'm not sure if that's what I need. I intend to lay down 3-5 layers of CSM 1.5 oz, and I intend to do it all at once (i.e., resin, mat, resin, mat, resin, mat, etc.). Does that mean I should have gotten finishing resin, so that when I'm done, it will cure fully hard? Or do I want laminating resin so that I can add the consecutive layers?
I'm a bit confused as you can tell. Will finishing resin allow me to do multiple layers in one sitting (i.e., over the course of say 45 minutes to an hour), and then cure? Or is it literally resin/mat, sand, mat/resin, sand, mat/resin sand so that you're sanding for every single layer?
Much obliged.
