Hi guys been skinning for a while now and I'm looking for the best resin that has the highest temp rating without post curing the parts.. I see the el2 laminating resin is higher than the xcr resin and even more if the slow hardner is used..
I didn't get on with the xcr resin before,  pinholes and clear coating it was a nightmare!!
Also needs to be bubble free and crystal clear..
My process is tack spray carbon to the piece.. wet it out and then I'm vac bagging the part.
Thanks

For higher temp applications; we'd suggest EL160 High Temp Laminating Epoxy - We used ot offer a High temp Skinning Kit which included this resin.

Does it need to be degassed?  Or does it do it itself like the xcr resin? 
Does it skin carbon to ok and is crystal clear? 

It dosnt state what the hdt temp is without post cure?  Also it's amber in colour so will it not effect the carbon colour? 

It isn't really intended for normal temp applications so would need to be post cured in any circumstances. It isn't crystal clear, especially in thin sections but when used in thin sections, you don;t really see any inherent colour. It shouldn't need degassing as its quite slow giving time for air to travel out of the resin during the initial cure profile but you could use a heat gun on a low setting to help to expel air from the start.

I don't have the means to post cure unfortunately.
What's the next best resin you stock? 
Also does your fusion spray only dissolve in epoxies resins not poly resins? 

RGT, watch the EC tutorial video on skinning the rifle stock. Should explain everything you need to know.

CmCarbon, without the means to post cure, most epoxies are going to perform the same at elevated temperatures. I presume you are trying to avoid print through from the fibres latwr down the track, however it isn't going to make too much difference what resin you use - if you can't do an elevated temp cure then they will all shrink back. A room temperature cure epoxy cured at 25 degrees is going to start shrinking back after finishing even at 25 degrees, even if it's quoted Tg is 60 degrees. Epoxies have a relatively long final cure time, and can take many months or even up to a year to reach a stage where they are no longer shrinking at room temperature. An elevated temp cure will hurry that process along, as well as increase the final Tg, but without being exposed to those temperatures you aren't going to have much luck avoiding print-through.
