You may wonder how many layers of mat to use; what kind of mat or cloth to use, etc. There isn't a single answer for all parts. The shroud shown in [[Make a fiberglass fan shroud]] is mainly for form and has little strength requirements, so it can be laid up with just the chopped strand mat. However, if it were a body part or some other part that would see some stress, the design should include one or more layers of woven cloth which is many times stronger than the mat. | You may wonder how many layers of mat to use; what kind of mat or cloth to use, etc. There isn't a single answer for all parts.
