I am laying up a part which is essentially half of a tube with an outer diameter of 18 inches. My reinforcement is 10 oz/sq yd fiberglass and I'm using vacuum infusion. My reinforcement pattern is +45, -45, 0, 90. My question is, how bad of an effect would it have on the strength of the part if for the second layer of 45 degree reinforcement, I used two large triangular scrap pieces to form the rectangular piece needed? The break between the two pieces would form a helical shape in the final part, and the layer made from scraps would be sandwiched between two continuous unbroken layers. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
