Is it possible or would there be any issues. Would the casting resin bond with the carbon plate or would it need extra bonding to keep the letters from coming out.

I don't know how the casting resin is made but remember; polyester won't bond to epoxy..., polyurethane casting resins should be ok I guess How thick will the part be in casting resin? to have a very clear casting you should do small layers at the time not to overheat your resin, causing some cracks and colourdistortion. Hope this might help you a little further... Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com
