Hello, new here.
Been making some out of autoclave parts in prepreg, but I'm having problems with pinholes. They are very small. Lacquering and sanding time and time again doesn't seem to work. I believe they must be filled. Looking around the web, most products made specifically for the job seem to be American. Does anyone know how to do this efficiently? Needs to be cheap, quick and easy. It will need to be lacquered afterwards for UV protection.
Thanks
