Ben,

1) You order or cut cores based upon having a 1/8" thick leading edge.
2) I joined the skins at the leading edge with masking tape.
3) A layer of 1.6 ounce fiberglass cloth is placed on the skins.
4) Approximately 6 to 8 lengths of carbon fiber tow are used and are placed at the fold between the top and bottom skins.
5) Apply finishing epoxy to the tow and skins.
6) Wrap the skins (with the tow at the leading edge) around the cores.
