Canopy skirt in FG

Don’t know if anyone has done it before but I have decided to make my canopy skirt out of fiberglass!
The back story is, I purchased an old kit that has been sitting around for years partially completed. The canopy frame and canopy were a mess but the canopy was already cut and drilled to the frame. In the end, I made new front and rear bows and the tubular mount for the canopy and remade a new frame. The fun was making it all fit to the predrilled canopy. Since the RV3 skirt I previously made came out so good I decided to do it again.
The following pictures show some of the steps from filling out the frame for the Layups to where I am now.
Now the fun of sanding and filling begins!
