I have build a lot of parts out of GRP and CRP using different methods. Started with wet hand layup to prepreg oven cured or autoclaaf, RTM. But I am always curios about new methods and materials.

Interesting!

Hi Jan,

Welcome to the forum; your experience from having built your own plane will be invaluable here. I'll be interested to hear what laminate and process you're considering for the hardtop - thin carbon skins with a core material I guess. Look forward to discussing it with you.

Hi Matt,

If I can be of any help, just let me now.

Jan,

I did not know that particular fabric. Did you already use it? What about its drapeability?

For the clear resin, just a thought... But I think the resin color is fading only cos of the UV , am i wrong? So I think a simple 2k laquer would protect the resin from fading?

Keep posting pics
