At the moment my rockerpanels are soaking up the resin, i put the first layer on before bedtime and 10hours later i applied a second thicker layer.
I believe i left the base coat dry to long as the fabric did stick somewhat, but not as good as expected.
So the fabric has lifted several places. (see img_3888.jpg)
I tried pushing it down when i applied the second resin layer, but it still lifts, not a huge concern as this part mostly fits on the underside of the car.
But if there is anything i can try at this stage to fix it, let me know.
Next is the area around the fitting brackets, here i have used masking tape to hold the fabric in place, but during the night it has come loose.
Also i cut the fabric a bit short.
Im using the flexible resin, as i wanted the part to be flexible, so i was thinking once the resin dries, i will try to bend the fabric and tape it again and apply regular resin just around the bend?
Will that work to mix both the EF80 flexible resin with the coating resin?
I took a picture of the issue: IMG_3890.jpg
Finally around the most tricky bends i had to cut and overlap a bit, so it does not look nice, its hardly visible once fitted to the car, but as im in the learning stage let me know if there are any tricks i can use to make it look nicer. (see the rest of the pictures)

I just did a rough sanding with a 120grit and put on a thin layer with 73g hardener and 50g resin thoroughly mixed.
Will continue with a thin layer tomorrow aswell, and then let it sit for a couple of days and see how it works out.
Fingers crossed
