Epoxy: West Systems Harnerers/ Clear Carbon finish

Hi everyone,
Quick question here. I am getting ready to add some carbon fiber to some handmade wood paddles along the tips. I have West Systems 105 Resin and some 206 hardener. I've been reading up a bit and it sounds like, for a clear finish, I need a 207 hardener that the 206 hardener would leave a milky finish? Is this correct or can i still get a good finish when using the 206 hardener?
Thanks!
