I like cut laps. You can pull the glass nice and tight with the squeegee working from center to rail tuck. Also use a flat wallpaper brush to stretch the glass and flatten it out before wetting with resin.Resin shrinks when it dries so it will also help pull the glass tight.

Dig the add for the tight shapley figure… “But lift Jeans” Nice… Right up my ally
A laminator recently told me that the glass “floats up” in the resin and he pushes it down quite hard to get his laminations tight and light. I can’t seem to get mine dry enough and still get full coverage. I know the answer is practice. I’ll get there eventually.
When you’re pulling the weave tight do you keep the squeegee vertical or some other angle?
lap cuts are a great beginners start,as stated.
types of blades will dictate how much pressure you can use,and in the end how tight the lam turns out.
