FCsteve Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 polyester and fiberglass cloth is cheaper then epoxy and carbon fiber twill. my question is if i layup a part with polyester and fiberglass cloth when its all done can i smooth it all down and throw carbon twill and epoxy as the top/visual layers ? 610EUROs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 sure, just use black primer before you lay the carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
