Tube Glassing Evaluation


I have started glassing (mostly carbon fiber) airframe for strength. I'd like to evaluate a few points.

Epoxy to Fabric Weight Ratio

I wrapped a 36" piece of 3.9" PML Phenolic.with one wrap of 5.7 oz carbon fiber. 3/4" overwrap. Initial weight 427gm; final weight 523gm.

I think I weighted the fabric before I wrapped the tube. The weight was ??; we'll compute what it should have been as well.
