If you want 100ºC capability then you would be looking at a high temperature resin.  For your project we would recommend the CarbonFibre Skinning Starter Kit - High Temp which can go upto 180ºC.

You would ideally want a dedicated adhesive if you wanted to bond ceramics, however if you mean just skinning on ceramic then the kit above would be fine.

All our skinning kits use epoxy based resins, not polyester.  When bonding to polyester, key the surface and epoxy will bond well to it.

Carbon fibre fabrics can be used to skin over glass fibre no problem.


Just a note for you on forum usage. Your post does not relate to making carbon fibre panels but to skinning. It would be helpful if you post a new thread if you have future questions so people can respond best.

AndyGtt, did you use prepreg or infusion for this project? which materials did you use for this?  Did you do any post curing? Turned out great!

Unfortunately you cannot activate the GC50 in this way due to a slight formulation change a couple of years ago.

Also the spray featured, the manufacturer ceased trading and we have been unable to find a perfect replacement. We do have our FusionFix GP Spray Adhesive which is epoxy compatible. However it is not ideal for surface use as it is not invisible and will need to be cleaned off after use. A light application between layers of carbon will cause no problems with inter-laminar strength.

What's the recommended way to clean off any fusion fix from the surface layer? I've avoided using it for the visible layer so far bit would be nice to have the option as i'm not using a gel coat

The recommended cleaning agent is alcohol.
