water wet carbon fiber

What happens if you wash a part with water that only infused by 90% ? I need to get the PVA off the part so i can epoxy the areas that didn’t infuse completely. Oh yeah, the part is carbon fiber and fiberglass. Will the water dry out after a couple days of being in the 90F sun? …and be able to accept the fresh epoxy coat after?

just make sure to fully dry the part before using any resin on it, aslong as there is no water left you will be ok

Thank you Hojo :slight_smile:

clean with acetone?

Yeah, I’d say wash out the water with 95% isopropol or acetone if it won’t eat your resin. Then it’ll evap. quicker. Also, heat the part a bit, that’ll evap it quicker still.

Yeah i use acetone to wipe parts before epoxy surface coating them, and before clear coating with clear paint.
