Thread: Attempt at home made Micarta scales Flop

Wet-out each sheet of paper before placing it down. Be VERY liberal with the resin. Pressure won't squeeze it away from the paper, in fact you likely had an air bubble that couldn't get squeezed out. I work in composites and we face this a lot. More pressure will actually help as long as it is evenly distributed! The key is to add more resin to each sheet and set a wet sheet on top of a wet sheet. Think about trying to squeeze out air-bubbles maybe we a squeegee (or credit card) before you move on to the next sheet! Fabric helps as the air cannot remain as trapped. it will force itself through the layers. Wet paper simply has to go out between the layers! I hope this helps!
