Thanks
Al. I've heard that method described before, and don't doubt that it's the
best way to do it. Mercifully, I'm only working with a small amount of
fiberglass, so I'll probably stick with my crude but effective method. If
I ever say I'm going to build a fiberglass plane, I'm counting on at
least one of our list members to shoot me :-)
Cheers,
Rusty
BTW, Rusty; I know you didn’t ask; but as a
tip, you could save some weight by wetting out the cloth on some thin plastic (2
mil drop-cloth works good), then put plastic over it and squeegee fairly
rigorously to remove excess epoxy, then cut the final shape, peel off one side,
lay in place, peel off other side and stipple out any air pockets. Just enough
for all the strands to be thoroughly wetted makes the strongest
layups.
FWIW,
Al
