I have got the resin infusion process down pretty good now but the parts aren't finished until they have a nice protective gloss to them. Clearcoating direct carbon is hit or miss due to pinholes so I would like to spray a clear gel coat to create the gloss right out of the mould.




Question is:




Is it possible to spray down the clear gel coat, wait for it to tack, THEN lay down the carbon, bag it and infuse?




Thank You

simple answer, yes , you can actually use the tack of the gel to stick the first layer down to the mould for a more cosmetic finish

That's awesome, thank you! Now my question is how to apply gelcoat? Brush or spray. I prefer brush if I can get away with that for odor reasons.
