You want a slick surface where the fiberglass epoxy won’t stick too the mold. I used plywood and covered it with plastic sheeting. If I hadn’t the epoxy seeps thru the fiberglass and glues it too the plywood.
Far as glassing the cloth I believe that’s how Bodey did his, mine I just draped it over till I had full coverage and glassed it. Next ones I build I’ll cut the triangles out with a flap along one side and overlap them and twice layer the fiberglass

Sum of interior angles = (n-2) x 180 degrees
Each angle (of a regular polygon) = (n-2) x180 deg / 2
Example:
Decagon
10 sides
(10-2) x 180 deg
8 x 189 deg
1440 deg
1440 deg / 10
144 degrees per angle
On our case with a hexagon the interior angle is:
(6-2) x 180 = 720 / 6 = 120 degrees
Due to only using half the interior angle one would divide 120/2 = 60 degree angle cut
