quality glass tool onto a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). However, fiber print-
through creates an unacceptable sinusoidal surface roughness on replicated CFRP mirrors;
chemical and thermal shrinkage during cure are commonly hypothesized to be the dominant
causes. In order to mitigate fiber print-through, two methods of generating a polishable resin
layer were investigated. The first method employs the application of a resin film to the CFRP …
