Hey Guys,

 First of I want to say I love what you guys are doing here.

I know the power of forums and am extied to be apart of talk composites! Ive looked around for other forums like this but theres nothing good out there. Also, all those videos and explanation on the websites enspired me to get started in making my own parts.

Anyhow I have made my part a few times now. First few pieces werent so bad but not perfect, which is my goal. After tackling getting everything to fit  and form to the mold I still keep finding small inholes across the surface of the part...

At this point I am stuck. Could it be the surface of the mold? Seems to keep hapening so I assume I am doing something incorectly.

Any help would be appreciated,

Donnie

Nice one,

Glad to see that it sorted out the problem for you, those parts are looking really nice.

A really good quality automotive 2-pack clear-coat should give them a really nice finish can't wait to see them all trimmed up. you can get satin finish clear-coats but I find you can get better results by wet sanding the laquer with 1500grit or a fine scotch-pad, you get a really nice flat satin effect that way.

That's a pretty neat resin mixer do you not find that it whips too much air into the resin though? might have to give it a go! we use jiffy mixers for larger batches of resin the make light work of it too.
