The light cloth that Ken is probably referring to is known as scrim cloth. Aerospace companies use this in CF layups where fasteners are going to be drilled and as a barrier ply to prevent galvanic corrosion. This fiberglass cloth is very light, about the same thickness as ladies pantyhose, although most strength engineers will not count this ply in their strength calculations, most will admit (offline) that it does in fact contribute to how the laminae behave. It definitely helps during the assembly processes to prevent splintering during drill operations. You can se it in alot of wing skin OMLs, it creates a duller finish compared to the Carbon plys. --- Kenneth L Wiltrout <[email protected]> wrote: > Glassing the sides and bottom is optional, I chose > to do it using a very > light cloth that was very sheer, the weight gain was > negligible, make > sure u sand all excess epoxy off.
