Group: Forum Members Posts: 74, Visits: 1.8K	Hello, There is this product on their Lantor website (Lantor FinishMat D77) , but I never saw any comment about it or see videos being applied. On the site just says this: Lantor Finishmat® D77 - Excellent surface finish - Reduction of process cycle time - Gelcoat can be replaced by pigmented resin - Easy to process - Becomes translucent in resin - High elongation Applications Lantor Finishmat® D77 - Marine: hulls, decks, and structures of boats and yachts - Transportation: parts and panels of cars, trailers, trucks and RV’s - General closed mould applications However I could not understand at what stage of the process is used, if it can be used for those who do infusion without Gelcoat, etc ..

I've been talking to the manufacturer and they answered me the following: The Finishmat will give a fully transparent and glossy finish like that of a transparent gelcoat, without having to apply the gelcoat. The Finishmat is co-infused and this is works very well for a durable carbon look.

If you overlap it in places it can be a little yellow-ish or thick looking. Have had pinhole issues with spray-adhesive when putting it in the mold - not sure if type of spray or quantity was at play - wasn't bad but the parts were getting painted.
