Hello everyone,
I've been searching the forum but couldn't find the answer to my question. I'm trying to cover
the inside
of a 10mm carbon fiber tube with inner diameter of 8mm in thin layer of high temp food safe epoxy resin. The inner aperture is very important to me (precision I'm looking for is up to hundreds of mm). I achieve needed inner diameter by drilling with precise drill bits. The tube is approximately 50mm in length. My questions are:
1. Can I somehow spay the epoxy inside or do I have to apply it by hand? If applied by hand, what would be the best tool to use?
2. Would 3k rolled carbon fiber tube absorb the thin layer of epoxy resin and leave the inner aperture the same? Or do I have to polish it somehow (drill again?) after I apply it?
Here is the resin I'm intending to use:

I would appreciate your input! Thanks a lot in advance.
