p40 - isnt fucking proper fibreglass - y does every1 think it is - its a fibreglss filler - the best way to do it is with a b-axial firbeglass matt (with resin) P40 to fill any gaps - then a skim - and I mean skim of P38 over the top

which would be better - however done with Biaxial - it shouldnt ever crack - done right - use surfce tissue as well - and the amount of p38 needed will be so small that the risk of cracking is virtully 0

if a yacht hull can be contsructed with a surfce tissue and no need to fill over the top - then Im sure that arches can be blended in the same way - and nto crack
