Well here is another one, should have been the first question? Lol

Having discussions with friends, not being aware what's up my sleeve...they are concerned with yellowing of CF due to exposure to the sun/water etc... I read about your gel coats:

 Gel coats are generally applied as a thickness of 0.3-0.7mm and are specially formulated to provide the part or mold surface with properties such as resistance to UV (ultraviolet) degradation, hydrolysis or osmosis (where water is absorbed into a composite over considerable time)

As mentioned on your site your products are superior to other products on the market...could elaborate on it some?


What thickness would give the best result? .7mm?
How would I measure the thickness? would it be in terms of coats, before CF layied?


When I plan to make the heat shield for my bike I will use the

Clear Epoxy Gel Coat correct?

Should have asked this question in the 1st post my bad......

Thank you Matt,
First I want to say "Happy New Year" and belated Merry Christmas......

Thank you for your response, so in part the Epoxy Compatible Polyester Gel Coat wont make it more brittle as I have read from some other sources. Don't get me wrong, I am totally convinced that your products are totally superior to others out there. Just making sure?

You see I will be ordering the starter kit to get my feet wet after I get some confirmation on this subject so I can floss (look good) and be prepared for those questions I just asked you.....


Before I shop anywhere else I looked through your site and did not see the "
Epoxy Compatible Polyester Gel Coat" product or am I still so green I missed something.

For this reason, I have a race bike and a street bike to put these parts that I will be making and want to be a cut above the rest the first time, meaning to get it right so I won't have to go back and explain or re-make a part...the race bike well not so much interested in it, however everybody isn't me Lol......But if I get it right again i can look good in races, around the paddock and hopefully sell some parts...you know what I mean....thanks in advance....I wanna order this kit asap so point me in the direction for suggested product above....
