Hello, I'm trying to make parts with an outside layer of orange hybrid fabric (by infusion) but when the fabric touches the epoxy- the color is changing immediately to something between dark orange to red... did someone try making orange parts and a found solution to this problem? Maybe there is a diffent type of fabric with lighter orange color? Maybe I should try yellow fabric..?
I want exactly the orange color of the fabric before it touches the epoxy.
In the picture you can see both dry fabric and final part after curing...
Thanks!

That almost looks like the red hybrid cloth but photo shades can sometimes be deceiving.
