We are planning to make inner stiff chasis from sandwich panels(closed cell pvc- 2x2 twill carbon fibre sandwich). We would like to use wooden mould. However I have no experience about wooden mould surface finishing. Is gelcoat coating enough basically or have I use different finishing materials? Regards. Kürsat.
