Hi all. I made a CF hood for my car a couple years ago but have never been completely happy with the pin holed results. I would like to try another using infusion with epoxy resin vs. the wet layup vacuum bagged VE I used the first time. I originally used VE because of its higher TG but from all my searching I can't find any mention of people using high temp resins for their hood creations. Is a 180-200F TG high enough for a hood? I could always make an oven for post curing a high temp epoxy but that just adds extra work and cost. What have others been using as an epoxy resin choice and how have they held up? Thanks for any help.
