So things are curing now, time to sit back and reflect I guess



Okay here is my first sidebar article in a while.

I am going to walk you guys through my "wax paper" method of nomex/carbon/fiberglass layup to produce a nomex composite panel. These panel are great for making servo and equipment trays.

I stumbled across this meathod and it rather surprised Mike ande Melissa on how well it work and how lite my panels turn out.

What you need is:

two pieces of glass slightly oversized for the panel your about to make

nomex core material - 1/4 or 1/8" thickness

carbon cloth - I use 2 oz cloth here

fiberglass cloth - 3 oz here

west systems 105/206 resin

and regular old wax paper
