I use three tupperware containers and clean up using the "3-dip method." Don't use solvents to clean your skin, it will just send the chemicals straight into your blood. I have tried vinegar with mixed results. I do not prep the bonding surface with acetone. I just sand for a good secondary bond and vacuum. Since I'm not Boeing, I can't guarantee a perfectly cleaned laminate, so I don't risk contaminating it with a rag. Realistically, I doubt it matters, these things are really overengineered. I will also recommend buying the books on the website that pertain to composites. There's a lot of good info in there. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
