Hi,

I use Uni-mould and I love it but my neighbour complains because of the smell.
What would be an alternative? EC epoxy mould?

Will EC green epoxy fix my issue?
How to reinforce epoxy moulds? Can I use CSM and IN2?

I plan to make CF infused with IN2 and or without GC50, twaron, prepegs and natural fibres.

Thanks for your advices.

Yeh that's what I mean, it isn't easy. You can probably do a bit better though, for one 180 grit is way too course to be trying to sand out. Try not to use anything below 400 grit when flatting down, and then you've skipped a few grit stages in there as well. Always go 400>600>800>1200 and then you can continue on from there or compound. With epoxy I would probably go up to 2000 grit. 

As for the tiny holes, that sort of sounds like the epoxy wasn't fully cured before you started sanding.
