Hi Richard,

When you want to achieve a smooth surface with fibreglass, the last, the final coat is a so-called veil which has about 90% resin and is attached to the prefinal coat of glass matt.

Is that available in carbon fibre? I dinna ken ... but my background was never in carbon fibre but FRP.

Sorry that I can't be of more help.
