Not a technique I've had masses of experience with, but looking to do a little carbon skinning on some fairly small parts that have some subtle cosmetic features that I'd like to retain and not lose too much when adding material and coating
So, I was wondering if vacuum bagging the part once the fabric had been laid onto the tacky backing resin would help consolidate things a bit more tightly and help reduce the potential 'softening' of any subtle lines or features? I guess I'm asking if doing this will help to, in effect, de-bulk the single fabric layer and help make the skinned part a little closer to the original parts' dimensions and true form?
Just wondered if anyone regularly skinning parts did this or if it's unlikely to make any noticeable difference?
