Hello.
I´ve searched the archives and found information for thrusters/quads/twins.
But I´m building a board with true ames Bonzer runners. With the longs base and little height, is my glassing shedule ok or am I asking for trouble ?
Bottom lam is 4+4 in the whole tail area.
I´ve glassed the fins on with the follwing shedule on each side of the fins:
- 2 stripes of 45° cloth , 1" wide, for the fillet (Bill Thrailkill and others mentioned that in some threads)
- 2 full layers of 4oz covering the whole fin and the whole taped off area on the bottom.
- 2 staggered layers of 4oz, one covering apr. 2/3 of the fin and the taped of area. The other one covering 1/3 of fin and taped of area.
I know putting the staggered layers on top will be more sanding work.
But think for someone with limitid experience like me it´s safer to have the full layers below the staggered layers.
I don´t want to risk sanding through the full layers. And I don´t mind some sanding work (I´m just a hobbyist).
Thanks for any advice.
Michael
