I would like to carbon skin a part and I have a question regarding the 'tack' time before applying the carbon.  The part I want to skin is quite large and has complex surfaces.  I don't want the resin base coat to be really tacky as once you lay the carbon it is very difficult to manipulate into position within damaging the weave pattern.   Therefore, could you lay the carbon earlier, so that the base coat is not so tacky and allows you to manipulate the carbon ? The process states 1-2 hours, but laying on after 10-30 minutes, would this cause any issues ?

Dravis- glad you are finding the new XCR an improvement over the old coating resin. It would be interesting to see some photos of your finished parts so we can compare the difference.

Lenny - Which information are you struggling to find? I have checked the XCR datasheets and both are available to download.  If you are struggling still, then message me your email address and I will forward them to you.   In terms of the skinning process, it is as detailed on the webpage.
