Okay, so I've made a lot of progress in the corner. I had to cut away a significant portion of the fiberglass and remove foam. I've got it down to the structurally sound fiberglass, feathered it out, and re-poured 2 part foam. I'm looking to start fiberglassing tomorrow and need some final advice.

Do I create fiberglass mash by pulling apart matting and then mixing with epoxy? Is this then stuffed under the feathered fiberglass until all voids are filled? Then do I simply lay matting down until the entire surface is covered?

What is the preferred laminating sequence? Fiberglass mash, matting, fabric and finish with 2 layers of matting? Or do I need to alternate matting and fabric until flush with surrounding fiberglass?
