A good resin mix will melt a conventional fleece material. But there are some other things you need to do besides pulling and cutting. You need some sheets of nice flexible plastic, a nice spreading/pressing knife, and some patience. You do not lay the material on model then apply the resin. You have to press the resin into the material then lay onto prepped model. Then let dry, follow the directions on the mix. Then give a few more hours for drying time to sand. Then clean VERY well with a alphatic naphtha type dry cleaner.
