Hey, need your advice. I am new to carbon skinning, and this is my first piece Im trying. So I took a PC+ABC piece, it had some kind of rubber like coating. I removed the coating fully, but each time I tried to coat it with epoxy resin basecoat it seems to go watery like structure and does not go into sticky state after 3 hours. I tried searching the web, but no look. Anybody came across such issue? Why might this happen? The mixture is spot on, I tried both with cleaning the surface with acetone and just a cloth, incase it was the acetone causing the problem.
