I'm in the middle of my first attempt at carbon fibre laminating using the CarbonMods starter kit with the 100 to 30 ratio resin and when I apply the base coat of resin I cannot get it to keep an even coverage over the surface of the mould, it just wants to pool up at the bottom of the mould leaving dry patches on the angled faces.

Thanks Matt.

I'm glad to see that i had followed the instructions correctly and that it is normal behaviour of the resin under these conditions.

I am also keen to know more about the process of laminating without the first coat of resin, the next part i have planned to make is quite a bit more complicated and it would certainly be easier to lay the fabric to a non sticky surface.
