I have this sculpture project am currently working on that requires me to deliver at a record time, so am working to bypass the clay modeling stage and move straight to the fibre glass and resin. But it's my first time of trying out the technique... Any ideas?
Use an alternative material.
you cannot well control form with the side of glass / resin that you see, precision is only to be had by following the mold. In addition, all surfaces exposed to air will be sticky and not cure fully.
Either, go the full process, or, use another technique. The full process requires a model of the item you want, you make a flexible resin mold from this, then make your desired item in the mold.
Sorry, not the answer you want.

Thanks @Rob Darlington, I have noted your observations, however, I have an ongoing research to experiment on the possible way of working with fibre glass. I shall update the progress so far
