Made an aluminium backing plate to the shape I wanted then tried to skin this as per instructions. First the epoxy seems too runny, the basecoat ran to the edge of the domed baseplate before it went tacky. Assume you need an even cover of basecoat so can't just do it thinner. Topcoat runny too but tried to rebrush after an hour - also took a long time to cure ? Put part in oven as per HDT cure but got golden marks in the resin just over 1mm diam. Did it get too hot or for too long ? Thanks for any advice before I try again, can't see I can sand out the marks or recover the baseplate so its back to stage 1 & make a new baseplate! Assume carbon is ok for this application as the whole outer sleeves are often carbon and the end part of mine is carbon. Alan.
