Any model makers here? Need resin advice.

[RedexRobB]

Im looking to make carbon parts and wanted some info on resins. How to use them, mixtures, cost, suppliers etc...

Im guessing its the same as making glass fibre repairs just you need to use a certain resin to get a good finish. Just wanna get started with some info and look into it a bit more, i wanna be sure how the resin stuff works before i start buying the wrong stuff etc....

cheers
