Hello,
I am new to composites. I have started with few sets from Easy Composites.

I made a few tests on plexiglass and unfortunately I do not get a glossy surface on the carbon plate. In addition after 24hrs the resin did not fully cure and the plates are a bit soft Smile

Please see the pictures. 

I applied Easy Release Agent 2 times. 1 application and then after 5 minutes the second one. The ration resin to hardener was 100:30. (Slow)

Can you please advice
1) What can be wrong?
2) How many applications should I do with Easy Release and what should be the time in between?


Thank you!
