I find doing a sanding coat can make the next layer look cloudy even with washing and cleaning stuff when doing chopped carbon so I don’t now. Just do base coat then stick the chopped carbon down then do 3/4 coats of resin then do the cutting around clean up and level out more. Then one last resin coat. Leave for a few days then do the sanding grading before UV clear coat hope this helps anyone
@mobbingarage95228 ай бұрын
Good advice. And yes, epoxy resin would go all cloudy because it's still gassing off, and the clear coat isn't allowing the gasses to escape!

That looks amazing, i love it. When I did some forged carbon skinning to my interior, i used the easy composites chopped tow, but its a bit too much if a fabric texture and gives annalmost fluffy appearance. I really like this syle, so I think I'm goingnto guve it a go. Nice work 🍻👍

Thanks! 100% with you on the easycomposites chopped carbon, I'm not gonna do any other skinning method any longer besides this one 👌
@garydeandeery Жыл бұрын
I had the same so wait till sticky’s then pull apart the chopped carbon and lay as flat as possible. Then add more if needed use a metal roller to help flatten. Then get a plastic shopping bag and put the part inside and pull tight twist the end and tape up it’s better than vac bag so won’t push out of shape

Hi buddy! Could you advise for how long did you wait after applying the carbon on the black epoxy? Did you fully dry the “wetted” carbon layer or just wait few hours for the B-stage and then continue with the epoxy layers?
@ilhankapic5473 Жыл бұрын
Hey might not be the person you wanted but maybe the person you need. It's imperative to wait for the B stage, it's one of those crucial moments in my experience, it really makes the carbon stick solidly.

Usually 2 hours for reaching the b-stage for the xcr resin at room temp, but different epoxies/hardener combos need a different amount of time! Just wait for a while and do it when it's super sticky but no longer comes off easy!

Per un miglior risultato e soprattutto per una miglior compattazione , quando hai fatto il MOSAICO e bagnato con la resina METTI TUTTO IN UN SACCO E FAI IL VUOTO , la superficie verrá subito liscia e lo spessore più basso...una scartata e puoi verniciare subito 😉
