I would like to cover the Kitchen Worktop, in my camper with a single layer of carbon cloth and hi temp laminating reason.

I was intending to use

Carbon Fibre 2/2 Twill 3k 199g

Very High Temperature Epoxy Laminating Resin 500g Pack

I have done a few structural repairs with carbon before but that is it, so I understand how to lay the fibre and resin, but I am looking for advice or a guide on how to get a flat gloss finish, ideally a mirror like one.

Need a bit of help/advice on how to proceed...

Laid the carbon down with the excess resin, the carbon is down nicely etc. But as I ran out of time... I rushed the last coat of resin, and I could not get hold of polypropylene or glass sheet to put over it.

anyway...

I was thinking of flatting it back using my sander 400 through to 2000 and polish etc as recommend in this thread.

But I would ignore the worst of the low spots, sort of like a practise run...

Once I done my best put another thin coat of resin to fill the low spots and sand and polish again. That way I get a bit of practise... so when i do my final coat I have more idea of what I am doing...

Does this seem like a workable plan? what will I need to remove the polish compound if go down this route before I overcoat with resin?

I could get a polypropylene sheet, and do another layer of resin, though I am loathe to do this now, as I still may make a mistake. At least if I flat off and polish what I have now I will have a practise before I do the final coat.
