Hello there,
I read this article and found something interesting:

http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/ipb/index.php/topic/215174-carbon-wrapping-how-to-guide-56k-death/

Can anyone explain the purpose of a topcoat / flowcoat?
Ive read that its just gelcoat with a wax in styrene solution added.
Every website says the same thing, something about it curing tack free.
Can anyone explain exactly the curing process, is it faster?
whats with the wax rising to the surface? I can't seem to get my head around what is actually happening.
Thanks
