I like carbon fiber, it's clean, are you going to leave it flat or are you going to gloss it up.

What kind of resin did you use? How did you apply it?

I was going to say if you have a farm supply store near you go buy a couple large syringes and needles for them .smaller number the bigger the needle and pour the resin in the syringe and use it to fill in tiny gaps and build it up a little at a time.

Yeah that's how I put epoxy glue in the crack between the inerts and the door panel when I did the el wire. It was still a pain squeezing such a high viscosity liquid out a 12 gauge needle but made it a lot more precise and a lot less messy.
