The part I'm making is produced (via Resin Infusion) in two halves that will be fixed together, at a later time, at the edges with 25mm CF tape.
It's desirable to have a glossy surface on the part. Could you tell me about gelcoats???
Do I apply a gelcoat before the resin infusion process, and another after fixing the two halves together? What's the best way to do this?
Although I don't have a gelcoat gun, I have polishing equipment and the time for finishing...
Should I use the Clear Epoxy Gelcoat, or cheaper GC50, from Easy Composites?
Many thanks!
