Hi!
A few months ago I've done a project and skinned some plastic parts from under the hood, engine area.
I've followed all the instructions but for me the basecoat didn't work at all and it didn't keep the CF fabric on the part at all. As I was applying the resin, the CF just came off from the plastic and the final part doesn't have all the nice lines. My first and only project as I saw that it didn't work on any of the 3 items that I've skinned.
I'm attaching some pictures with how my items ended up from my project:
And the professional items should look something like this:
Any idea why the why the CF fabric didn't stick completely on to the plastic and came off as I was applying the resin, why didn't the basecoat hold it proper? Should I have left the CF fabric on to the base coat longer to glue proper?
