RE: The New Pentathlon Evolution
I've been working on the foam cores and within the next few days will be thinking about doing the actual skinning.
After looking at the options, I will go with the EZ Lam epoxy (60-minute pot life variety) simply because it gives me more time to work and doesn't have that extra expansion characteristic to control as does Gorilla glue or the other PU's. Maybe next time, once I have a little experience and confidence for the next set.
I have decided also to use the 0.2 oz CF tissue under the skins... just seems like a good idea when thinking about the tension/compression on the skins when doing stuff like snap rolls.
The only question I have (for now!) is how to roll the glue on when using epoxy lam with the CF tissue, that is whether to roll it onto the balsa skin first, place the CF on the skins and then roll some more without adding more epoxy, as suggested in the Terry Brox tutorial.
Thanks for any help,
