Do you wet sand the very last coat just to key it before the laquar?

Yeah .. I never wet sand between XCR coats, .. no need to wet sand .. I just sand with 240 dry .. and it is very important not to sand through to the fabric ...

I have used several other  Coating resins, including West Systems and EC's "old" Coating Epoxy, none of the others have come close to XCR for ease of use and quality of the finished product.  I even use it as "clear coat" because it is so easy to flat and get a "satin Matte" finish.

I was having issues with the xcr but I think it's because I was wet sanding between coats and was leaving white marks if I was breaking through a coat due to reacting with the water... on there video they only wet sand on the last coat.

Not much luck with the laminating resin for skinning ..  I only use XCR now ..
It might work for the base coat but you would probably need to thicken it with colloidal silica to avoid it running off non level surfaces.

Anyone use this for carbon skinning and does it stay clear and bubble free if you keep the coats thin? 

Cheers
