I tried a couple things on the front seatback that I may not
repeat. First, I drew marking lines on the foam at 45° angles to the foam to help
line up the UNI when I laid it on. Worked nice for that, but didn't look real nice
when the layup was done - you can see it through the 'glass. I also tried the poor
man's vacuum bagging method, where you apply a layer of clear plastic over the fiberglass
then squeegee while it's on there. The technique works pretty well, but, either I
used bad plastic or didn't do it right. |

I ended up with lots of wrinkles in the plastic
(even though I worked hard for about an hour to pull all of them out) and now I have
wrinkles hardened in the epoxy. No big deal - it will be covered up with upholstery
so you won't see it much. I also had a hard time understanding where to put the peel
ply - I figured it out long after the epoxy was cured. Live and learn, I
guess. I thought about building the seatback over but a couple of other builders
talked me out of it. |
