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

Have to add my two cents.
Make sure the gelcoat and infusion resin are compatible. Infusing  an epoxy resin over a tacky standard polyester gelcoat will give you headaches. Make a small sample part first to find out whether it works or not.
