Good add Bill - I'd forgotten that my shop wouldn't let me laser cut the panel directly if I couldn't give them the chemical composition of the epoxy being used - out of fear of toxic fumes. That necessitated the use of a template router. If you can get a shop to let you laser cut the fiberglass directly you cut out the intermediate step and it all goes much faster. Also a lot easier to cut square holes and fine details that way.

Same process as the water jet - just a different tool.
