I used 4 layers of CF 400 gm and 2 layers of fiber cloth together between
each wood in the spar.. also I added M/b from west system which is really
very strong and needs agrander to sand it after it cured...also I used
aspecille epoxy - which is not that much nassasory _
( the pro set) used for any lamination works also from west system ..If I
wanted an ubnormal kr I would then build afully carboone fiber spars or
alumenume one,but laminated spars are fine because there is no any failers
until now as I know .....
