Basically I've been using this technique for over 50 years (OH MY GOD!!!  ) and it still works.
They did change Elmer's formula a bit I think some time in the 1970's or 80's so it doesn't smell like sour milk but that's all that's changed.
I do miss the sour milk smell. 
I just finished a custom 6" diameter V-2 nose cone out of fiberglass/epoxy but I think that is my last big fiberglass cone.
They are just too darn labor intensive and tie up my lathe for too long to make them worth the effort for me.
Besides, I don't care for High Power even though I am L1 certified. I just can't see the worth of making something so expensive that you can't see from less than 500' away.
I think after the tragic incident recently I can't see the point of making something so large and heavy it does real damage if it comes in ballistic.
