Reinforcing the reinforcements....

Since İ had already played with Kevlar for strengthening some frames and had quite some material at hand, İ decided to use it again to reinforce the hull stringers.
Again, İ really found this material to be difficult to work with. Maybe it is just the stuff İ bought but it is hard to cut decent tapes or strips out of it, and it is even harder to do a nice lamination.
As before, the strips were cut with a heavy duty pair of metal scissors. İ also cut strips of paint drop plastic sheets on top of which İ saturated the aramid strips.















The whole thing was then carefully placed on the stringers which needed reinforcement. İ intended to leave the plastic sheets until the whole thing cured but, this time İ took it out as soon as the kevlar was set. This allow me to work the edges a little bit more and get a better results.
Even if it is not the cleanest lamination job around, İt sure is very,very strong.
