Corbeau Seat Moulds
Would like to thank Barry Culver for lending me these, they come with the option of the high back (below) or a low back better suited for a ski boat. Added lip to top half at the weekend, as soon as I get some more matt and wax I'll be pulling a few from these

How's £23 for 5 sq mtr of 800gsm roving? Also £20 for 10 sq mtr of 600gsm chopped strand?
Just want to make sure it's not ten times the price I could be getting it somewhere else....
Cheers, Max
