My less than $.02 worth
Used "Rutan Cloth" from ACS and AeroPoxy. I applied in incrementally wider strips as described in the instructions by wetting out a large two layer piece on visqueen. Prior to wetting out, I marked one side of the plastic in the 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, etc strips for use as cutting guides. Use a large Sharpie. After wetting and squeeging the excess resin from the cloth (not on the side with the lines), I put another layer of visqueen on the strips, squeegeed that down to the cloth, then cut using a pizza cutter type fabric cutter on a cutting mat, with a straightedge as a guide over the pre-marked lines.
Now you have all the strips you need, covered in visqueen and easily transported to the work surfaces. Carefully pull the visqueen off one side of the cloth, move it around and stipple in place till happy with it, trim then ends then slowly peel off the visqueent on the front side. Continue with the other strips then on the last layer, finish with peel ply, squeegeeing the material into the glass. (PeelPly is Rayon fabric available from ACS or boat building supply houses.) This DRAMATICALLY improves the finish and reduces sanding.
Adding the black pigment is a GREAT idea. Wish I had. One of the finishing touches that provides a subtle but very professional looking touch.
There's another hundred ways to do this and you'll hear them all.
Good luck!!
