I found this out the hard way and had to restart my seat all over again. Here is a pic and the description from my site about what happened. http://www.kr-2s.com/images/fail_600.jpg *"Everything went perfectly well until I went to remove the peel ply. I'd been staying back at work until late working on the WAFs. I didn't get to removing the peel ply for three days and discovered that by this time it had become brittle as the epoxy had completely hardened within it. Peeling it off was akin to peeling a price sticker off a CD. What has been peeled off in this pic took in excess of one hour! My sense of humor wore thin to say the least so I will start all over again but will use this skin as a mold for the next. As a postscript to this disaster, 6 months later I found out that a well meaning friend bought a few meters of fabric that looked like peel ply from a haberdashery store when I had asked them to go to my fiberglass supply shop."* Two more sleeps until the Aussie KR Gathering! -- Darren Crompton AUSTRALIA My web site: www.kr-2s.com
