I have never worked with Core Mat - do you have any feel for the
relative
density of that layer in the resultant structure.  Is it a hollow fiber,
and
does it have a
binder like the usual glass mat? - Vance


Vance,
The Coremat is very easy to use, however wetting it out between plastic
sheets is the best way to get complete saturation.

It is a loose mesh fibre ( mat) - it can be bent easily and can be
compressed easily, so I don't know how well it goes in vacuum forming.
Think of less dense felt!!
