Default How to apply carbon veil?

I had read that some people, especially those concerned about weight, are using carbon veil instead of glass cloth. So, I bought a bunch of .3-ounce carbon veil from CST for my current project.

Starting with the rudder, I discovered that the veil is not good about following curves, such as the rounded trailing edge.

Is there a trick to getting carbon veil to follow curves, or do I need to go back to glass? (I've asked CST, but have not received a reply.)

Thank you for any suggestions.

Cheers,
Richard
