The plan will be to infuse two sheets of carbon and then vag bag them onto the core. I've seen EC do an adhesive for bonding cores, but how's best to apply this? Do you just lay a big lump down and spread it out with a spreader? My other thought had been to just mix up more resin, maybe thicken it a little, and then paint that on to the carbon. Any other ideas or input?
