Tip to Tip Lay up


Here my one of my illustrious T.A.P. members (Ken Biba) is helping me to cut the carbon fiber out.

 


Test Fitting the cut carbon   

 


Wetting it down and getting things started

 
                                        
                             Starting the lay-up                                                      Wetting it down for the next layer                                     Third and final layer of carbon

 
                              
                                              Adding the sanding veil                                                                                                              Release film

 
                                                                               
                                           Now for the absorbent layer                                                                                   Ken setting up the bag for the vacuum pump

 
                                           
                                   The process begins.....                                                sucking...sucking...sucking                                      DONE!!..well the sucking part anyway
