just a quick question i wrapped a couple of b-pillars with cf and never had any problems, till my friend wanted me to wrap some of his bmw interior parts.told him thatīs no big deal (since the most parts he gave me are simple flat).i started to wrap the parts but they didnīt want to stick on the plastic?!?!?! i was wtf? did everything the same as usual.now my question, do you prep the plastic parts you want to wrap?like using some chemicals to clean the surface or use some sort of primer, so that the epoxy sticks with the plastic part?
iīm pretty confused about this (maybe itīs the epoxy, i didnīt used the one i always used.my buddy had some epoxy for fiber glas laying around).

yes, you prep the pieces before you do anything. There are different brands of epoxy. Not all of them are meant for this purpose
