==Cores==
There are also many cores available for use in FRP laminates, use of a core can increase the rigidity of a part without increasing the weight or tendancy of thick parts to get mottled after time and exposure to heat. Use a core anywhere you have a large flat or gently curved area, roofs, hood tops, floorpans, bellypans. The underside of fenders above the tires is a good place to use coremat, as it will provide a cushion against stars from rocks being thrown up by the tires.
