ORIGINAL: Taurus Flyer
Hello MattK,
That's all clear, thanks for info.
About the naturally way of drying through the pump is also clear. That probably has to do with the better evaporation under low pressure (evaporation pressure, dampdruk).
Wing skinning I never did but, maybe in the future? I will not forget.
I will look for the info.
For people who follow the thread, formers of the fuselage under construction and under quality control.
The firewall I made of three separate 3 mm (1/8) plywood so the spars/girders will not end in the engine room to keep them free of fuel.
I glue them later together to 1 firewall 3/8 thick.

Cees,
You can use vacuum to laminate the firewall. The applied pressure is extremely even on the whole face producing the best bond.
Don't understand why you need 3 layers of 1/8" ply. I typically will use one layer of 1/8" aircraft ply for fairly large firewalls and large engines such as Webra 160. Alliance has been around for 6 years and has 800 flights and Temptress 5 years and 1800 flights. Engines are soft mounted so maybe that's the reason
