Hi Folks,

New to carbon fibre and tried my first cast using the epoxy mould making kit, when i mixed and applied the green gel it was pretty runny and when it dried it had ran off the object i was making a mould from.

Can I reduce the raitio to make it a bit thicker or can I add multiple coats as its drying to thicken it up.

When i released the mould the gel part was so thin that it had cracked, thinner than a eggshell.

Any Help advice greatly appreciated.

Tony
