I inserted a piece of 9oz fiberglass cloth into each mold cavity after
filling it to give the tread some structural strength. After pouring
the resin, simply lay the pre-cut cloth pieces into each mold and gently
push into the resin using a stick.
Adding in milled fibers would probably be difficult because you only
have a short time to work with the resin and if you change the viscosity
it will be harder to pour into all the mold cavities.
