Hello everybody BigGrin

I just saw the sneak preview video and I would like to thank you for this awesome tutorial  but I have a few questions about it:



   - 1 Where can I find the release tape you use to recap the holes, the gel coat sprayer and the adhesive spray (if you please have links)?

   - 2 Why did you use gel coat in the bonnet infusion and not in the other infusion video?

   - 3 Why do you use peel ply in the full part (the sonic core instructions said the vaccum bag won't stick except with elastifilm so peel ply won't be usefull)

   - 4 In the first infusion you use sonic core material and in the second one, the carbon 660g, what is the difference between the both and does it have a equivalence (for 

exemple sonic 3mm = 2* 660g carbon layers)

   Excuse me if the answers are inside the video but English is not my main langage Wink





I have an other few questions but with no links with the video:



   - 5 Is it possible to use an other tool than a brush to laminate? I thank especially to the gel coat sprayer loaded with resin or plastic spatula (if you have a better idea 

...enough to lose hairs when laminating ^^)

   - 6 I have to make a 75mm diameter tube, so I think to buy this https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/80mm-carbon-fibre-braided-sleeve but I don't find how to do. I have a personnal idea but I would like to be sure

   
Thank you by advance for the time you'll spend for answering me and long life to talkcomposites Wink
