I'm hoping that's true. I used two ply of carbon fiber bid over the entire
fuel filler area. This finishing stuff is lots of work, hate to see stuff
appear later.

Gidday,
About the imprint..............YES. Mal Mc Lure's a/c here in Aussie, which
took out the "Tour de Elegaunce" and "Members Choice" awards is faultless,
except for this imprint. For a couple of plies of BID its well worth it. I
know I will be doing it, with carbon, or a carbon/kevlar mix cloth I have.
I'm not sure about how many layers you need, but probably a single ply of
carbon would be enough, or two would be plenty, even BID for that matter.
