It has been suggested to cut out the initial layer here: http://www.talkcomposites.com/FindPost7264.aspx My question is after applying the carbon layers with resin and let it cure do you then pop the part out of the mould and add a coat of resin to the face of the part to allow the smooth appearance or using something else? Or are you best using GC50 Gelcoat as the first layer instead? Thanks for any help.
