I need to lay up a large 60"x100" flat sheet of carbon fiber sheet on glass and need it to be clear gel coated on finished side once I pull the part. My problem is I can not position the carbon fiber cloth straight because of the gel coat being tacky. How should I go about making the gel coat not be tacky so I can lay the carbon cloth out straight then infuse. I need to be able to move the carbon cloth around on the gel coat because it’s so big to get a good straight pattern.
Should I let Gel coat it sit for a long time? How long?
Should I coat with PVA then wash PVA off after 6 hours? This would suck!
Will the VE resin bond to curred Gel Coat during infusing? After its sits for a long time?
Please any help would be great
