Once the PVA has dried we are ready. I first cut a cloth kit. The first layer is a 2 oz Crowsfoot cloth. This cloth has a fairly tight weave, will add some strength but not much. It is mainly used as a surface layer to reduce pinholes. The second layer is an 8 oz plain weave cloth. This will be the bulk of the strength and the final layer. The front of the cowl has some details that the cloth will not be able to negotiate. An application of paste made from epoxy and cab-o-sil softens the corners so the cloth can flow smoothly. This is followed by the first nose layer.
