Give me carbonation! - Toyota Caldina, 2.0L, 2000
I decided to do carbon fiber trim. Started back in September, only now got around to finishing it. The firstborn is an ashtray cover. Slightly changed the pattern, a la twill, in the common people "herringbone", although the weaving at the fiber is plain. It remains only to wait for the varnish to dry and polish the parts in order to get rid of small dust particles. Further here I will describe the course of carbonization of the cabin :)
What varnish do you use? There is a special varnish for protecting composite products, polyurethane with a UV filter.
SÑott Bader also has UV filter resins. Those. in principle, you can use it and cover it with any varnish?
This varnish is, in principle, universal, but it is mainly used for wood. It's also difficult to work with it ... Here I dug up a resin from SP System, which already contains a UV filter. Suitable for outdoor use without additional protective coating: www.gurit.com/core/core_p...table=libraryfiles&id=894
Apparently yes. Composites don't stand still. :)
Here's another dug already in Russian:

SURF CLEAR High quality transparent epoxy system with improved mechanical properties and temperature resistance. Specially designed for the production of structurally stressed laminates, UV stabilized.
Ah, well, everything, I understand. I'll pick up a resin from the British line. They have such.
What resin do you use? for lamination? no bubbles? or how do you fight them? And then how many did not try to laminate parts. always bubbles.
