The only membrane I ever found that works for that method comes from those punch balloons. They look sort of like an accordion when deflated. It's a heavier membrane than a standard balloon.

That 2K clear also comes in a spray can If you can set up several blanks to be coated try it But once activated try to use it all or it will set in the can
A search of the net should bring it up

I have NO experience with this material, but I've had success getting a really good finish on carbon fiber grips by applying by hand with latex gloves on. Similar to hand rubbing a gunstock. Worth a try?
