I wonder how I can get nicest finish after I have vacuum-bagged my CF without any air-bubbles.
I don't use a mold, but a plug (I'm building a bike-frame) and the piece will be wrapped totally with six layers.

Should I just paint with epoxy and smooth the surface by sanding and do this a couple of times to build up a surface and when that is done start to put on clear-coat?

I have read somewhere that you can use micro balloons with epoxy, but is that just to use it as a filler or can I remove the tiny air-bubbles that can occur in the epoxy?

Any idea?
