In Response To: Carbon Fiber on Plywood Coamings (Dan Caouette (CSCWC))

Dan, so are you wrapping the carbon fiber around the thin knife edge of the coaming lip?

That's the part that I would like to know the good solution to. I did it on one lip that was bent oak but that had a thickness and wasn't a knife edge. I did similar: bias 3 oz cloth, wetting it out but coming back an hour or more later when the epoxy is tacky and press it in to shape. Carbon fiber cloth is much stiffer - you have no problem making that bend over a thin coaming lip even considering a bias cut?
