Default RE: Making a tail with glass and kevlar/homemade peelply

That's way cool Vicman. I hope the flowers transfer to the stab.

I rely on Staples ClearView packing tape for those 2" and narrower release jobs. Or in overlapped layers for wider in cases where the little ripples don't matter, like on parting boards where it is my standard surface finish.

And lately, I have fallen in love with green rubber cutting mats and rotary cutters. I didn't know that rotary cutters cut glass cloth so neatly and easily, and I especially didn't know until lately that a Dollar store disposable rotary blade cutter could cut so many linear feet of glass cloth and so neatly. It really works like a charm. Haven't used scissors in a while now. They cut thin wood nicely too, though using a straight edge is an acquired skill. And rotary cutters cut off fingertips very easily, so careful.. [:'(]

Edit: of course forget Kevlar
