Default Who works with carbon ?

Meed to find a decent resin that I can use to carbon wrap, the one I got don't seem to go tacky enough to do shapes and don't dry that quick either

What you guys using ?

Basically it's not really sticking to parts but it does set hard if that makes sence

By the sounds of it ginge you have let it dry off to much but epoxy will take time to cure and it is temperature related and even if you catch it while is tacky it won't stick to sharp corners mate. You could use a 3m epoxy glue to bond the twill on then wet it out after
