RE: How to apply carbon veil?
I've heard it mentioned in the same or similar use on a video I have on molding balsa. They may have even suggested its use for reenforcing relief cuts. I suppose it could be the technique that I used as well. On the other hand, most of what I've read and seen on carbon composites has been vacuum bagged. I did use a couple of layers of carbon veil to reenforce the engine mount box on a Top flite Spitfire. I had to extend the box to accomodate the enigine I was using. It used a lot of epoxy to fully cover the carbon. It also felt spongee before it was set. Cost is another consideration. It's definately more expensive than .5 cloth. I still have a roll or two of the stuff waiting for an apropriate use.
