carbon fibre parts, shiney edges
I have 2 new buggies, and my OCD with wiring is rather all consuming LOL, but I love things neat and tidy,
my carisma GTB is all carbon and may get the treatment too LOL, so that 3 buggies to do  Ive seen carbon parts with shiney edges and as I appreciate and understand it must help with delamination etc, I mainly love it because it looks great. is this hard and messy to do??

Thin CA glue, drop a bit on and roll it around the edges, repeat when dried for a better effect.

I do this with mine but in my experience it isn't particularly quick. Last time I did it, there were about 3/4 cycles of wet and dry / CA / repeat. Activator helps, but not for the last application as I've found it doesn't give a mirror finish. The main issue is that the carbon edges are porous and so a good few applications are needed to coat this before you can get onto making a nice finish.

Superglue on a cotton bud and wipe it around the edges. Works a treat and produces a nice finish. It may require a quick sand beforehand if the finish isnt already fairly smooth.
Dont get to close when doing it as it does produce some vapor, which can sting your eyes pretty bad!

i use clear nail varnish to seal c/f parts, nice and easy to apply with the little brush in the bottle.

I have only raced 30years and i have never done to the edges anything than sandpaper the edges.
800-1000 sandpaper and after that you have an good edge. The only carbon i have had problem with is the ae tq10 chassis, or i think everyone had issues with it.. jerzi
