Hi all,
I am new to composites and I am currently trying to skin some parts for my car.
To begin, I had issues with bonding the fabric to the parts but I have seemed to solved my issue by not folding the excess behind the part for a clean edge. My main issue at the moment is sanding. I am struggling to get a nice flat surface and I am reluctant to use 120 to begin flatting as I always end up with scratches I struggle to sand out. What is the most efficient way to get a smooth finish without sanding forever. Also, what is the best way to remove drips that have cured and also a bulging edge where the resin has collected on a vertical edge on a part? I worry when I’m sanding I will hit the fabric.
My last issue seemed to be on the weave when I finished sanding, it looks like a void between the resin and the weave as well as moisture under the resin when damp outside.
I am using XCR resin and have been told it is self levelling and does not have air bubbles but I keep getting bubbles!
Thank you
