Hi Randal,
Doing a layup is quite doable if you are or can get thoroughly familiar with the material you intend to use.
I use polyester resin, which is quite different from epoxies. The end result can be the same and I know you’d save
a lot of money with polyester resin versus an epoxy layup. I have a page that explains method and techniques for
doing a Polyester resin product. My items were wing tips, radiator intake, wheel fairings and gear block covers, but the interconnections
and primary components repeat themselves when doing a cowling. The methods for fastening main flanged joints is better done with Dzus fasteners as seen on my cowl page. Each page has a lot of detailed pictures that show the method and means to getting there.
Check out the following links from my wheel fairings page,

Check out the notes at the bottom of this page for doing fiberglass product with polyester resin and catalyst.

and the cowling page.

Hope this is helpful to you,

I am preparing to lay-up the Cowl
Can others tell me what you’ve done in this step?
How many layers of glass? What weight glass? What type of glass?
