Darren is correct Mike, you need to be rolling glass around at 45 degree angles. When I have built Rutan designs, all sharp corner layups are with uni running at 45 degree angles and or bid running at 45 degree angles. Just turn and cut your bid so it rolls over corners at a 45 degree angle. Larry Howell
PS: I have made some 90 degree bends like you are talking about in small areas before, but you have to have extra unwetted glass cloth to tape down away from your layup area or weight it down with something or you have to just stay with it until the resin begins to setup. Meaning you have to just keep it pulled down, stippling etc until it setsup to the point that you do not have to watch it any longer. This way is a real pain. Remember the fibers are strongest in straight lines, that is why it does not want to bend/kink in a 90 degree bend over. ________________________________ From: MICHAEL SYLVESTER <shagste...@hotmail.com> To: KRNET <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Thu, May 6, 2010 10:21:03 PM Subject: KR> 90 degrees One more question.. If I'm having trouble with glassing a 90 degree bend, how am I going to glass the aileron spar that is more than 90 degrees ? Mike Sylvester kr2s builder Birmingham,AL.
