I'm not sure what the perf film is in that list, I just use peel ply and then the breather layer (usually 2).

My epoxy is 60 min pot life

The last set I did last night I made sure there was enough excess bag, and whala, they all turned out great

Now I just need to figure out how to finish them. I guess scuff with 220 and then a good 2 k clear/buff ?

Once I get the stretchelon film in, I'll give some of the other parts a go. These were 999 heel guards, and monster headlight support brackets.

I've been using 100% carbon in my layups, no FG to speak of.
