Default RE: Eagle Aviation One Design Build

Next 6 ounce cloth is cut on a 45 degree bias. In this case I cut the cloth long enough to wrap around the tube twice. I need about 14" per side so I'm making the sockets 18" long and will trim to fit. The cloth is wetted on a piece of wax paper and rolled onto the tube. Again working slowly so that all the air bubbles are worked out. I'm using West Systems with slow hardener so there's plenetly of time.
I purchased a sheet of extruded polystryene today at Lowes, it is green in color. I hope it cuts as well as the Owens pink nad Dow blue color sheets did. The protective plastic covering came off much easier the pink or blue material did. Will know how it workssoon. First up cut the thickness down to 3/8".
