Hi guys,

Thinking of giving this V-shape a go (you know, the Pagani/Koenigsegg thing). I just don't know how to approach this correctly. I'm using dry fabric (no pre-preg) so obviously, I will have to use something to hold the fabric together when I cut it because it will simply fall apart and I will not be able to get anything aligned in a V-shape. I know that if I use some painters tape it will hold the fabric well and I can align it but I will have to leave the tape there because if I try to pull it off, it will destroy the fabric. I guess my question is, if I leave the tape there and apply the fabric on the tacky gel coat, would that be a problem? It will obviously be on the backside of the fabric but I was concerned whether I will have adhesion problems where the tape is? Or if that's a no-good method, I'm open to suggestions Smile

Regards,
Stan
