Our goal is to surface match the side panels to the center panel. This requires a material buildup to equal the thickness of the center aluminum piece plus the carbon fiber overlay. A quick calculation determined that we would need six layers of fiberglass plus two layers of carbon fiber. A 50:50 resin to fabric ratio requires 128g of resin. That's a lot!
Eight hours later... Removing the bagging material and bleeder-breather layers revealed a very tacky part that had clearly not yet finished curing under room temperature and good vacuum.
We'll leave the part exposed to a strong morning sun for a few hours to finish the cure process.
