Yes because even when you mix it equally there is always
change in shades of grey.....so its hard to see low spots
and high spots.

Absolutely love reading your threads, I've learned a lot on vacuum forming and the construction of, just by your images alone.

I have a question though, is the contour of the A-Wing body different when comparing the top to the bottom?

I've always liked the A-Wing, but never really looked hard at it to study the shape.

I Am not sure I think the bottom might be a little slimmer not as deep?

Hard to imagine that you would do a second version after the first, that takes some real dedication! I hope you will now feel you've done well enough with this one. You'll give perfectionists a bad name otherwise. Bravo!
