"Pro Finish" - Finish

Hi Guys,

I must say I'm taking full advantage of the benefits to "pro finish" - much less mess and fraying which is ideal.

Just wondered, has anyone been experiencing some defect in the finish? Its almost as if the crystals of resin are being dragged by the resin flow and you can see it in the finished part. Also, does anyone use a specific side as I noticed that one side has the larger resin crystals/blobs on it! I have tried putting it face up and face down either side with same result. Not a complaint as it still looks OK.

Here is the "pro finish" - you can see in the weave what I mean. I'm talking about the marks along the strands inline with the fibres, NOT the white lines you can see - those are reflections of my lamp (also the white moon you see is just reflection of my lamp):



And here is the finish with normal cloth:



Regards,




James

Thanks James, glad you like them

Maybe it could be a good test to try it with just one layer of profinish backed with 2 layers of "regular" carbonfiber?
