Carbon Fiber Skinning

[RedTwilight]

Honestly i cant remember. I believe i got this from theengineerguy.com out of atlanta.

This resin is Adtech 820 with their medium hardener (822 i think?)

its expensive at about $180/ gallon with hardener

Even though it is UV resistant, it may/can/will yellow in time if let untreated. This is why i put 6 coats of clear over it. In about 30 days when the clear is fully cured i'll wax it for further protection.

That site is freaking cool! Not just for the composites materials but also all the makeup and creature effects too! Now I know a good place to get the materials for the Halloween costume I hope to make some year.

I planned to clear the pieces afterwards any way with the same clear I'm going to use on the paint. I plan to use a high UV resistant clear since I'll be repainting the Cobra Kandy Red. Candies fade after several years in the sunlight. So I want all the UV protection I can get.
