Hi guys, need sum help here. 
Got to make this spoiler. Its 3 part. 2 side panels and 1 blade ( main spoiler bit)
The side panels got to a be certain thickness to be rigid. 
This needs to ne frp not carbon. So im planning to make with wovenglass and soric lantor and do a resin infusion. 
My question is how i can seal the edge of the blades? They are pretty easy panels to get the molds.
Kinda confused as how to make make molds and how do i make the edges sealed and smooth?
Or any other way to make this panels?
Cheers

Sorry, read blade as the end plates!

Havnt got a huge amount of experience with wings, but I've used the permabond adhesive from EC to join mine together.

I've done some repairs on F3 wings which use a support bonded inside to support the centre of the chord, I'll try and remember to get a picture tomorow of a smashed one to explain what I mean.

I'm sure warren will be along soon to give advice, he has a lot of good advice when it comes to these


Cheers man
