What's a good way to remove little skin-bubbles on carbon fiber and to polish it. Not too shiny. Thanks.
 
If I remember correctly one should wear protection when one is working (sanding, grinding, etc.) with carbon fiber. Breathing protection that is...
all da best,
rats...
 
I dont know exactly what you mean by "skin bubbles" but if you have any voids they can be filled with thin super glue. Once its good and dry you can sand with 220, 320, or whatever grit paper you like, and finish with a medium or fine scotchbright pad.
This can be done easily by hand, and you can get the stuff you need at Lowes or just about anywhere.
 
Thanks, Guys!
TR---There is one little spot that is crinkled. Like the "skin" wrinkled up. Thanks for the advice. I'll try a scrap piece first. Thanks!

FWIW---WT told me he uses 600 grit WD sand paper to finish the CF. Thanks.
