What type of resin for C/F

[Suprastic]

I just bought a 5'x10' roll of carbon fibre cloth and would like to know what type of resin I should use to overlay onto parts. I heard that certain resins/epoxys cause the C/F to to have a yellowish tint to it. What resins/epoxies do you recommend to use. Again, i'm not using the CF in a mold, but just overlaying it to certain parts throughout the car, mainly interior. Please LMK.

Thanks,
-Dan

This company is the best hobby and small production advanced composite supplier that I have found. http://www.fiberglasssupply.com/Product_Catalog/Epoxy/epoxy.html

Check out the system three clear coat epoxy or SB-112, or check it out the "Mirrorcoat"

You will notice that in order to get Epoxy resins that cure clear they will cost you more than a few coppers.

I bought the carbon fiber from a friend of mine who owns a performance shop here. I paid $35 cad for a sheet 5'x10'. There is a few websites with distibuters in the US that sell them for a reasonable price. He told me he ordered a 100' roll from the states, thats why I got it so cheap. Here is the link: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/to.jsp?eclDrill=752&TYPE=MORE or http://www.fibreglast.com/showproducts-category-Carbon+Fiber+(Graphite)+Fabrics+&+Tapes-15.html#19

Lintlars, thanks for the link. I had a feeling it was an epoxy resin I needed to get, but just wanted to confirm that.
