How to Strengthen Fiberglass Seam in a Tight Enclosed Area?
Hello All,
I'm scratch building an aircraft that has a composite fuse with composite twin tail booms that hold the elevator (figure 1). I plan to make the molds in two halves and join them together before the epoxy cures. I usually strengthen the center joint with 1.5!QUOT! fiberglass tape. The problem is that the twin booms are only ~1" wide and completely enclosed so I can't figure out how to strengthen the area where the two halves join (figure 2). I forgot to mention that the width gets even smaller towards the fin area. How do I add fiberglass tape in the area before joining the part halves? If there is an alternative way of strengthening this area, I'm all ears.
Thanks
