Hi,
I have made a pod for my hang gliding instruments using your core foam, and skinned it with the XCR skinning starter kit. I have got as far as sticking the carbon twill to the black basecoat, and it seems to have worked well. What is the best way to add a second layer of carbon (for strength): Do I need to use the black basecoat again on top of the first layer of carbon twill, or should I stick the second layer in place using coating resin? Or does it make no difference other than cosmetic? (The piece is now completely black, of course.)
Thanks in advance,
Oliver

Perfect, thank you Warren. That is what I thought, but as a complete beginner (this is my first project) I thought it better to ask. Thank you for adding the note about keying the surface; the resin has, indeed, cured.
(This forum is a great resource. Having quick and easy access to clear advice certainly makes me more likely to try these sorts of projects in future.)
Oliver
