A little bragging here. I am the gentleman who invented the corner roller. I'm also the inventor of a roller that is made of something that we could call a bottle brush. Whenever I made a mold I avoided a sharp 90° or less corner. Whenever a sharp corner was necessary I had a solution for that as well. I made a compound of resin, fumed silica and 3 mm glass roving. The compound is made to be very thick. The solution it's not foolproof but I had very little problem with it. Yes, I'm old as the hills and twice as Dusty.

did you let the chop strands and resin cure or harden at all in the corner before continuing with the regular layer of matt @2:40?

I'm working on bonding ABS material with resin but having trouble finding the right fit. I've tried both epoxy and polyester resin, but the results haven't been ideal—FRP hardens once it dries, while ABS remains flexible, so they don’t bond well together. Does anyone have recommendations on a resin or adhesive that could work better for this? I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions
