"More progress with the fin following completion of the 2mm liteply skinning + hard balsa LE & tip blocks. Glassing is done with my favourite L285 skinning resin + a close weave 4oz cloth (as mentioned, weight not an issue, but component stability is). With the glass on, a layer of peel ply is then added (shown here partially removed post cure). This is wetted out with a 2nd application of resin but with the 1st layer + cloth still wet. The resin wets out the peel ply and once cured, the ply is ripped off leaving a beautifully smooth lightly textured surface that's ready for a light rub down & a 1st application of primer."
