Morepower, How do you get that finish?  How do you fill pinholes?  I use prepreg on aluminum under vacuum and always get pinholes.  It doesn't help that EC surface layer often comes with pinholes off the roll.


No pinholes.... This is the most recent tank out of the mould. Not even trimmed here as the filler cap hole has not even been cut yet..
