Hi, I am planning on doing a carbon covering of the ugly fibreglass hull (inside engine bay not exterior) of a jet ski. It will be purely cosmetic with the green 'decorative' carbon sheeting. Ive calculated I will need around 2m of the carbon, and wanted to know firstly roughly how much resin I would need to mix, and secondly if it would be ok to use a coat of resin on the fibreglass first and allow it to 'tack off' to help keep the carbon in position before a thick coating of resin.
Thanks
