RE: How to apply carbon veil?
There are a couple of techniques that might work. You might try misting the part to receive the veil with 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. Then you can lay on a slightly over-sized piece of veil, press onto the shape/surface, trim of the excess, and then wet out with resin. The other alternative is to use a vacuum bag to press and hold the veil in place until the resin cures.
