Please explain 'pre-cured.' I am not a chemist and
can't mix anything beyond gin and tonic. This sounds
as if it is already in a somewhat hardened sheet form.

Any comments fromsomeone knowledgeable?

Correct. Vorgelat is the brand name of a a polyester
coat which is
applied into the mold as the first layer, i.e. it
will be the surface of
the finished glider. Other brands are Schwabbellack
and t-35.
