Hi there. I am looking to perfect the professional finish of my product. It is wet lay up of resin and pigment over a variety of fibres, including glass fibre and Kevlar, over long thin objects of around 3” wide. Do you know if anyone doing similar work that could help improve technique and get the finish to professional level? Any advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Wrapping individual fibres like that is always going to need a bit of surface finishing.  Filament winding is usually used to make tubes.  I am not sure if there is anything off the shelf for DIY use although I have seen similar on youtube in the past so maybe worth a search to see if there is a good DIY video showing something that might work for your process.

Thanks Warren. Much appreciated as ever. The search continues. Best wishes.
