Hello Guys.
doing my first steps with composites, i am experimenting with skinning car parts with carbon fiber.
i have a lot of questions to ask, so i apologize in advance for bombarding the forum with different subject
so this is my first subject and few questions.
1. understanding that Epoxy is not UV stable. what is the downside of skinning parts with polyester resin (that i understand it is UV stable)?
2.how much UV stabuiletyis offered by the XCR resin? will it be stable enough and will not turn yellow over time if not clear coated?
Edit:
3. can this product be use as an alternative/replacement for clearcoat?

thanks in advance.
Meir.
