Ch. 4 - F28 - Part 2

F28 glassing - back side (0.9 hrs)
Because my F28 is 2” wider than plans, I decided to stiffen it slightly, by adding one ply of Kevlar embedded within the fiberglass. 



Cutting Kevlar with scissors takes a long time, and sanding it leaves long ragged edges. 


I used a piece small enough that it did not reach the perimeter of F28, so that I would not be sanding through it later.



I finished the bulkhead up by peel-plying the back, just as I did the front.



The next morning I just ripped the peel-ply off, and trimmed it.
