I want to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, pinholes and UV. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Hi I often spray 2k automotive clear in my molds and then do a standard infusion the next day. Its important to leave it overnight. The 2 become one. Its tricky to spray the clear to get it to lay down without beading but possible if you are not in a hurry. I have described my technic in detail some where on this forum. Hope this helps. Fred
