[NSRCA-discussion] Wing Construction

[Karl G. Mueller]

Lance,

Do you apply the glue to the skins or to the foam core in case of a
cored (with cut-outs for weight saving) foam core. I thought that the
amount of glue spread on the skins in the areas that do not make
contact with the foam would be unnecessary weight. It will strengthen
the skin some.

  Foam roller, my friend.  a squeegee will force resin into the pores and
away from the joint.  Only a roller applied fast and light can meter the
material properly and keep in on the surface.

    To skin a foam core with contest grade balsa does anyone have a
preferred way to determine when the amount of epoxy applied is adequate -
using Easy Lam epoxy. I have been reluctant to use a squeegie, afraid of
scoring the balsa. Would appreciate any comments.
