Hi
A total novice here.
Im wnt to cover my kitchen work tops in red highlighted crbon fibre.
Iv been playing with the idea for sometime and have read and watched lots of stuff, i think its possible for me to do without cocking it up.
Any advice on resin, techniques equipmennt and where to get appreciated.

HI,

The technique for skinning on a worktop would be exactly the same as any other item, albeit keeping the weave pattern straight is more important as it can be seen.

My main concern is temperature resistance. Hot oils, pans etc will mark even a post cured epoxy so it could well be vulnerable to damage if you are not careful.

Yes i thought you'd say heat but there seems to be heat resistant resin that is used in engine parts and i cant see it being much more vulnerable as timber with water or even granite with oil. Both are terrible kitchen work surfce materials in my view, they just look nice.
It seems you work in the industry, if i send the measurements can you quote for the materials???
