I see you’re also affected with the curse of ALWAYS typing “ration” instead of “ratio” and the spellcheckers don’t catch it. Fellow sufferer here.

here is the step I skinning the deck (without vacuuming)

1:brush first layer of resin first
2: gently lay out the carbon fiber cloth
3: pouring another layer resin
4: apply peelpl (ensure it been rolled smooth & no bubbles)

5: put a layer of tissues for absorb extra resins

6: add up a layer of vacuum flims, press the flims gently ensure tissue absorbing.

This is looking mental.

What’s going on under your back foot? Judging by the last two photos, I’d be amazed if that was holding your foot really well.
