RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread
Hi MattK,
do you have some pictures and/or a brief description on how you go about the carbon matting above and below the wing sheeting?
Is the matting below the sheeting applied with laminating epoxy or epoxy based paint? What type of matting do you use and where do you obtain it from? Does it have a tendency to curl or does it lie flat like fiberglass? Does it tend to shred a bit like 3/4 oz glass cloth?
For the top layer, do you apply epoxy clear paint (mat or gloss - does it make a difference?) first and then lay the matting on top? What tool do you use to insure a tight junction on the sheeting without lifting up the matting?
The end result must look pretty cool. Is it much lighter than glassing? (I know it will be rock solid).
Hope you don't mind the 20 questions.
Thanks, David.
