Fiberglass fairing question

Post by s10sakota »

Hi guys,

When you mold the clay and then lay fiberglass over that for your fairings, do you use the 'peel-ply' stuff?

I'm thinking that if I don't do this, the fairing will have a rough and uneven texture. But I've never used the peel ply and I'm wondering if it can wrap around the small tight curves on something like a wheel pant-to-strut fairing?

Thanks!
