1: piece degreasing with acetone, do it thoroughly so that the resin can attach
2: cf cut pieces, make this big enough.
3: epoxy and hardener balance and mix.
4: a layer of epoxy to make a brush with
5: ( tricky part) your position so that the fiber mat in the right direction, and gently push
6: all the corners and edges nice push to the mat if it were to paste the piece without blowing or bumps.
7: you brush a layer of epoxy so the top is pretty wet.
8: after a 20 min check everything again and eventually dislodged parts push back shelf.
9: at least 1 day dry
10: excess fibers with a fine knife trimming, and possibly with a Dremel, etc., make the edges smooth.
11: everything nice mat sheds and start your next layer of epoxy.
