Part of my attention to this point stems from a familiarity with resin jewelry, which is often made with two-part epoxies that are more or less the same epoxies used when laying up carbon frames.

Pendants made from it are considered low-end costume jewelry, largely because the material is so easy to scratch.

You would think high-end, high-cost carbon frames would give you better scratch protection or resistance. Scratches and gouges just don't sit well. And as someone else said, unexpected **** happens.
