Ok 8v done quite a few parts now but the last few parts iv had a few issues.
Iv been using the spray adheasive to hold the cloth on, timing and applying a thin coat of resin to lock it in place.
Once dry I trim the part and 120 grit sand.
Apply another 4 coats, once dry I wet sand and clear coat.
Few issues iv noticed is the gaps in the cloth appear white, is this the glue as the parts are black.
Also in having lifting issues if the parts become hot, is this the glue? Should I just use resin instead? Glue is much easyer.
Still seem to get alot of pinholes in the xcr resin and the laquer does fill them but takes a few coats/sand record attempts to get it perfect.
Any tips would be great.
Cheers
