Question Fiberglass HELP

After nine months of walking past my cobra which was just sitting in the garage collecting dust and becoming a general "catch all," I have started to work on it again. I was afraid it would become another unfinished Cobra destined to stay in a garage.

Tonight, I began to fiberglass the inner panels to the body, and I must be doing something wrong.

1. I sand off the gel coat.
2. Cut the fiberglass cloth.
3. Lay down aluminum foil.
4. Mix the resin, pour the resin over the cloth, carefully saturating it on both sides while the cloth is on the aluminum foil.
5. Transfer the now flimsy, ripping, shedding, and stretching, cloth to the spot its needs to be.
6. Work out the air bubbles, and as I do this the whole thing comes apart and moves.
7. Wait and hope like He** that it cures and stays in place.

Please help me is there an easier way. Does anybody have any great tips that would help?

P. S. is there an easy way to get the resin off skin?

Thank you,

Procrastinator
