Hi
I’m having issues with an imprint being left on my moulds and a little on the surface of my parts after I’ve infused the carbon.
Moulds were made using uni mould system, 5 layers of wax used for release, 1st layer of carbon is the pro finish. I have used a light spray of fusion fix, sprayed into the cloth before placing in the mould. Moulds have not been post cured
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas, my moulds now look like carbon print and to remove I’m having to 2000grit sams then polish, and my part has a slight dull finish on it but not all over but just sort of fibre in one direction, sorry not the easiest thing to describe and I tried to upload a pic but it’s not letting me upload
Any ideas
Cheers

Yeah thats it.

BTW if you gonna sand/clear coat parts after it doesnt really makes much difference. Either way (post cure or without) parts will have some kind of  slight "print" trough (after post cure or later on).

So if you want mirror finish....... postcure, sand & clearcoat (if you want mirror mirror sand clear with 2k and polishTongue).

Have fun infusing

Ok thanks 👍

These particular parts won’t be clear coated, which is a shame in a way, as I’m a painter by trade so that side of things is easy for me! hence why wanted to get them as good as then can be out of the mould , it was more the reworking the mould I want to avoided. Will get an oven sorted and post cure and go from there

Cheers

                 I normally leave parts in for solid 48h or more.
