Hi all,
I am undertaking an R&D project to reinforce a curved wood surface with Kevlar. It will need a resin surface of some sort that can withstand regular strikes against a metal edge.
The kevlar will be reasonable secure against the surface, but the resin will need to both bond and seal the surface.
The clarity of the finish is not critical and ideally, the surface should be machinable or at least able to be smoothed with sandpaper or varying grit.
In terms of application, I was hoping not to have to cast, but i'm not sure as to what finish can be achieved with a brush.

I can't give too many specifics due to IP, sorry. All ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Ric

Regular laminating may do the job in that case. The Kevlar itself will give very good impact protection, so if the idea is to protect the wood underneath and the outer surface isnt so important then it may work, depending on how thick your Kevlar layer is. 

Really I think you will only get your answer by testing, you'll just have to try some stuff out and see how it goes.
