I like the CF shadowline...something I wanted to try that myself after finding that same website some time ago. I'd like to see some more pics if you get the chance.
What kind of mistakes did you have, how did you go about fixing them?
What kind of mistakes did you have, how did you go about fixing them?
1- you have to place fabric on once. if you place it wrong you cannot took it off and place againg same fabric. you need a need fabric.
2- you should fix all faullts on fabric before you aply rezin on it.
3 bubles in rezin will look so ugly. you should use hair dryer to make them go
4-you should apply enough rezin equally so you will have room to sandpaper it.
becaue when sandpapering rezin, if you sandpaper it so much to have smooth surface fabric will be worn out.
more outside trim photos will come soon
