^ did you use an epoxy or a polyester resin? Most resins are polyester for fiberglassing.


I wouldn't recommend using the same resin as fiberglass...actually I wouldn't use that at all. The polyester resin has a tint/hue to the resin, as the resin I am about to recommend is crystal clear.


go to www.uscomposites.com

look under the Epoxy resin and scroll down to the bottom of the page until you find this:


Kleer Koat Table Top Expoxy




it is a 1:1 ratio and very easy to use. It is self leveling and very minimal sanding is required when done correctly.

Good luck with carbon work.
