Hey guys,

This is my latest work. This is after 1 layer of base coat, then waiting 3 - 4 hours then apply the fabric. Let it fully cure.
Then I added 2 layers before I started to sand with 120 grit.

Now the problem I have is I sand through the carbon showing gaps where you can see through the epoxy.

My question is what am I doing wrong?

I guess you answered your question yourself...you are sanding through the CF.
120 is a very low number to start sanding with...I would mostly start with a 600 and go up till 2000.
If you think you are sanding to close to the CF at the end, just add a new layer of resin and repeat till perfect
