Group: Forum Members Posts: 955, Visits: 3.4K	Hi guys so I'm still busy making my carbonfiber/kevlar Keeperhelmet http://www.talkcomposites.com/1066/Carbon-Fiber-Goalie-helmet-field-hockey?PageIndex=3#bm1562 So I'm planning using vacuum infusion, but without gelcoat...since I had loads of problems with the epoxy gelcoat So I will do it the same way as EC guys did it with their first tutorial video "How to Do Perfect Vacuum Resin Infusion of a Carbon Fibre (Fiber) Part" I guess well know by all of you here The plan is to clamp of the vacuumhose at the end so I have some "excess" resin to have a nice finish... Is this a good way of thinking first of all? So I was thinking...If I would still have Pinholes or airbubbles, could I be able to spraygun some epoxy infusion resin IN-2 onto the part and let it cure with a good finish?

Hi Matthieu As far as I know there is now epoxy out there that has UV protection in its chemistry. So if you have a part that will be out side you need to cover the epoxy with paint or clear coat. Automotive clearcoat has great UV protection. Without it your parts will yellow and breakdown. I spray this automotive clearcoat in my mold and when it has cured I then vacuum infuse. It comes out as shiney as the mold surface. Fred

Hi, Fred Tell one thing: how many automotive clearcoat layers did you applied at the mould? Pedro

Just two more questions: 1 - What spraygun do you use? 2 - What nozzle do you use? Pedro
