Hi all
First post and i am after some advice.
I have a CF bonnet made from wet laying in a mould. As you can see, there are some clear black lines around the vents at the top of the bonnet i would like to polish as well as 2 small raised resin marks which i would like to sand back and polish
What are the best practices and recommendations to sand and polish these?
To me it looks as if the resin as built up and hand hasnt been polished leaving a dull black look
I would like to try and correc this as much as possible
Also i would like to stand some raised resin marks back since they protrude out by a millimeter on the side and polish
Thanks
Nick
