Nice and glossy! So that's just the resin, right? No clearcoat?

can you explain the significance behind sanding even tho it looks perfect already ivory? it's already so shiny. if you sand it, won't the CF become dull?

it looks shiny because there's water on it to show the CF..when it dries it's dull.

So I need to sand till it's more clear.
