Morning folks!
I have a question for you all. I've a few infused mouldings that I've had for a few years. These parts were made with a perfect infusion which, at the time, gave me that nice glassy finish we all strive for. I was made up. A year or so on you can make out the texture of the cloth on the surface. It's as if there's paint sink into the weave pattern. It's not easy to spot but it bugs me. Is this because I didn't post cure the parts in mould? If I had used a gel coat would this stop this issue?
Thanks.

Yeh that's shrinkage. Don't ever believe that epoxy doesn't shrink, it most certainly does! Low...
