Trying to get a nice finish with no pin holes. I have been clear coating trying to fill them but it has become labor intensive..
This will be mainly wet layup and some pre preg work.
For the prepreg I tested film adhesive which seemed to work as a base coat however it seems the film adhesive has small fibers in it that are white and stand out on carbon to much.
For the wet layups I have heard of gel coats as a surface coat which work good but havn't tested or researched yet. Has anyone used a gel coat before for the base? Is there a big difference from just brushing on epoxy and allowing to tach prior to layup?
Thanks,
John
