Not a technique I've had masses of experience with, but looking to do a little carbon skinning on some fairly small parts that have some subtle cosmetic features that I'd like to retain and not lose too much when adding material and coating

In theory, no, as the fabric itself should be dry and, assuming that it was laid down at the right stage of tack, there shouldn't be any of the base resin to contend with either

My only concern would be distortion, so I'm guessing that pulling the bag down in careful stages help reduce this risk

Sounds like I'm answering my own question here!

Would be re-assuring to here if anyone with more experience has a view, though
