Phew...that was a serious Trip
Now that I have sobered up, here are some shots of the process:
I made a form from acrylic that had a round-over along the long edge:
Here you can see the curvature. These brackets/braces/angles (forgive me if I keep switching terminology) are ancillary to the load-bearing bond that will be holding the panels together; since they are just that, the curve should not affect the rigidity... may even help a little:
Here are both Forms that will comprise the entire form for Carbon Fiber when it is setting:
A couple shots of the CF, Padding, and Mylar:
I was working rather quickly, so I do not have an entire set of images, but here is the outer layer of CF getting slathered with Marine Epoxy:
It was when I took that picture that I removed my respirator... and forgot to put it back on...
The sandwiched CF:
...and weighted down as it sets:
Tomorrow I will see if this was a success or not.
