Hi guys,
I plan to do a resin infusion as follows: (top to bottom)
bagging film (from starter pack)
160g twill weave
390g twill weave
closed cell foam
390g twill weave
160g twill weave
flat acrylic mould (perspex)
As this is first time I'm going to do this I'm worried if the finished product will be shiny, smooth and glossy on both sides? Or I am missing something here?
Thank you
