Hi Everyone. First time posting here. I was refferd here by a friend from another website. I am working on a project that has me using Marine Grade Epoxy from Tap Plastic's. I have had mixed results with it and was wonder if there was a better epoxy system that you have had good results with? I am using the Marine Grade Epoxy to resin some Carbon Fiber, so it need's to dry clear. Here is a link to my project http://svtsupercharged.com/gallery/album10

My problems have been.
#1 Fish Eye's.
#2 Spots in the clear resin.
#3 Long dry times.
#4 The resin has a weird greesey finish?
Thanks For any help you can give me
