Quick question,
1:Is MR33 -0001 for foam as well as rubber? Only asking as in the online shop it says rubber. Looking for a traction compound to try. May give sauce a go (1/8th GP Foam) as not really run it seriously before and interested how much advantage it is.

2: More general query... If I don’t buy a machine to do it “properly” and rely on brush on and vacuum bag for my process, is it really worth doing? Or shall I just focus on running with no additive in case I’m called up for the Worlds in 2019*. When I tried it one weekend found the car wasn’t consistent and had more issues getting the tyres dried and “switched on” (however sure that this is something I’d resolve with practise!).

General thoughts appreciated.

Kindest Regards,
JBSpeed
