Hi,

I'm new to carbon skinning, I made the first pieces yesterday and I'm about to do the first layer of resin.
Thoses pieces came from a BMW Interior. I need to do some cutting like vents, etc ... Do I need to do it before the resin or after ?
How ? With a cutter ? Thioses cuts need to be really precise. Won't it be too hard with the resin ? 

Thx,
Lioh

Just be careful with a small cutting disc and remember cut about 1mm short, then finish off with hand files to ensure the edge is nice and neat.
