I'm not real happy with the looks of this fin. It's almost as ugly as the latest generation of Camaro that Chevy came back with.
The 1/32" would make the lightest base for a layer of 1 oz cloth. This file folder paper isn't too bad, though...
Yes, on about the 100th day of the year, it is a relief to get some sun and a reading of 65 degrees..
Ugly doesn't go far enough as far as the new Camaro...
I have used several layers of 1/32 to build up parts before, using different colors of magic marker to color the surfaces before you laminate helps as a sanding guide as well.
Nice to hear you got some good weather finally, you guys are due for a break.
