Hi,
Just a little on method for applying the skins.
- Using the veil on the inside eliminates the need for additional structure ; spars, carbon straps etc.
- I dispense the PU with a syringe and a lab,, calibrated sampling nozzle. This measures that used and I cut the tip back on the nozzle to give the desired bead size.
- I roll a 'damp' emulsion roller across the core before applying the glue bead. I then roll it over the skin/carbon veil just before positioning it. I do not wet anything - just leave a residue.
- Using PU on pre-sealed surfaces means that one skin can be applied at a time as there is no wetting of the wood. This makes accurate alignment easier as it is critical for the application of the 2nd skin only.
