Hello there guys !
I am doing some skinning works with CF and until now I've been using a 2 part black by color brushable adhesive and everything was amazing but now they discontinued the product, so I found myself in a situation. Can someone help me with some alternatives to obtain a perfect bond before using the resin with the parts ? 
Some of the parts have shapes(see attached picture) and I really don't want to find myself in a awkward situation finding them with the fabric apart the part at corners the next day. I did a little research but I have found nothing similar to this product I've been using.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you !

In essence you were using an adhesive where as the XCR Black Epoxy Basecoat is very much a liquid resin.  It takes approximately 2 hours to reach the firm but tacky stage, at which point you can apply the fabric.
