I'm just voicing my opinion about what I see in the video... to me it looks like they do it the way I have seen it done in other shops that do a lot of skinning. I.e: wet out some CF cloth with polyester ... wrap it on - tape / shrink-tape - cure - pull off tape, grind , clear coat liberally with 2-comp clear coat, grind, sand down and polish --- done --- "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)

They have cut and mixed up their takes from the manufacturing, and are not showing them in the correct sequence. What looks like resin in one part of the presentation, is in fact 2-comp clear PU coat... put it on very liberally ,and grind and sand and polish it afterwards. This surface is very resistant to most chemicals (as advertised) and also fire-retardant and can withstand burning a thin coat of alcohol or petroleum on the surface... nothing special in that... Looks to me like they do most of it as skinning and thick layers of PU coat ... = cosmetic parts "made with genuine Carbon fibre" "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
