Status: offline 		Hi,


This is not really related to my RC hobby but i have a question, I have this project that i want to cover with carbon fibre. Is it possible to cover a flat piece of wood with Ultracote? IF so how can i do it? if i can't, what materials would you recommend for me to achieve this look (materials must be able to be purchased at a local hobby store)?


Thanks a lot!
