 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

I'm building epoxy parts with resin infusion.  Can anyone suggest a clear gel coat with great UV properties that doesn't yellow over time?  As ChrisR suggested, I'd like to spray it in, wait for it to tac up and then start pressing my cloth into the mold.  Any recommendations?
