Default Carbon Fiber Prop - How to properly Tighten?

Hey guys - how tight should you bolt down a CF prop on a 35cc engine?

When you take yours off is there an impression on the CF like with a wood prop? or is that too tight if so?

I tighten mine to 15 ft lbs. leaving an impression could be too tight or a poor quality prop. The real thing is not to over tighten and stretch the bolts. Stretched bolts tend to fail.
