Hey guys so I am wanting to cover my dash that I just fiberglassed a dashpod and a phone into. I ordered my carbon fiber (twill 5.7oz 3k) and I got my west systems epoxy/hardener and some resin pigments black. I've watched quite a bit of videos so I have a good idea on what to do, I only have two questions. First  where should I start to wrap this dash? Should I work from the left side and work my way to the right, or work from the back to the front or start in the center and wrap it to each side. If you  know what I mean?  Just hoping to get a better idea on where to start wrapping this thing.  Next question, I know everyone says to wait untill the first layer is tacky before placing the carbon, but I watched a video where buddy said to do the first layer let it cure fully, sand it and put a second coat. and then place the carbon on while its wet. he said it gives you more room for error, as you can easily remove the carbon withought disturbing the weave since its not sticky? Does this sound right to you? Hoping for any advice I can get! 

Well yesterday was the big day!  Overlay ed the part and let me tell you it wasn't easy! Luckily I was prepared and a quickthinker and was able to fix most of the big issues that arised, mainly the area where the phone and dash pod is I knew there would be issues there. All in all though for my first time working with carbon fiber and it being such a big part to start with I am pretty happy! Today I will be doing the first top coat, and then trimming all the edges. 

good job so far! now come the fun part of sanding and recoating :p I have a new video coming online tomorrow on my youtube btw about that topic :p

Unfortunately I'm not able to buy from Easy composites being in Canada, Stuck using a 2 part epoxy from West Systems.  Every time I put in my cart it says they do not ship dangerous goods to canada.  

ow to bad...try looking for a thicker epoxy resin...the coating resin is very thick which makes it easier to cover everything in less coats

YA THIS stuff is really thin, I almost think I should do a second layer tonight before sanding, so i dont go to the carbon
