Do I need to apply clear coat, and will it yellow?

Clear coat is recommended to protect the carbon weave from UV exposure and maintain the finish long-term. A quality automotive clear coat will prevent yellowing and keep the glossy appearance intact. Without protection, bare carbon can dull over time from sun exposure.

How do I seal the edges of the carbon panel?

Sand the edges lightly and apply epoxy edge sealant or matching clear coat along all cut or exposed edges. This prevents moisture from infiltrating the carbon layers and keeps the weave protected. Standard automotive edge sealers work well for this application.

Is this wet or dry carbon?

This panel is hand-laid carbon fiber construction, which delivers a solid, durable finish. Hand-laid methods provide excellent resin saturation and minimal voids, making for a strong, long-lasting part.
